These funds were consolidated with other collections in the South and have been distributed through contacts in local Rotary clubs, so far providing £87,000 of medication and surgical supplies to Ukraine.

The clubs have also given support to refugees in Moldova, Romania and Poland, with the provision of supplies and transportation to the needy areas.

The Rotary clubs said the demand for further medication and surgical instrument support continues to be extremely high. As does the help to meet the needs of refugees.
