Donations were received at a collection point in Tesco, while shoppers donated £559.30 in cash - which the Rotary Club topped up to £600.

This will be used to purchase food and other items which will be delivered to Ukraine over Easter weekend.

Club president Phillip Martin said: "Yet again, locals showed their support for those less fortunate than themselves, and a special thanks goes to Tesco for allowing us to once again use their premises."
