Stalls set up across Hassocks will raise much-needed funds for the people of Ukraine next month.

Stalls for Ukraine, which has been organised by Rachel BartlettBundy and Kayt Morton, will be held throughout the village on Saturday, April 3 from 12pm to 4pm.

The trail of individual stalls will be run by Hassocks residents and the money raised will be given to the UNICEF, Red Cross and DEC Ukraine funds.

Residents are invited to hold a stall, visit the other stalls on the trail to or, even better, do both.

Rachel said: "My hope is that this event becomes a way that we can help others and feel like we are taking some control by acting positively during these very troubling times.

"If it would inspire other villages, towns and cities to do the same even better!"

It's free to hold a Stall for Ukraine. Just get in touch with Rachel via the Stallholders for Ukraine Facebook group.

Rachel added: "All we ask is that at least 50 per cent of the money you raise on your stall is donated directly to one of the main Ukraine charities."
