Following the wonderful response to the previous collection in January, we have another collection on behalf of "Somerset Aid for Ukraine" on Friday 26th June at Doulting village hall BA4 4PL. Noon until 7pm.

A particularly prized donation is Generators, even if not working or 110V as we have a team that repair and service them before they are shipped to Ukraine.

Although we will be grateful for donations in any form, if possible please box and label the items.
