DONATIONS to be sent to Ukraine and Moldova will be collected by a group of volunteers at Bow Gospel Hall on Monday, June 1.

People should bring items along between 10am and 12pm. Donations at a previous collection included bedding, clothes, toys, medicine, non-perishable food and more.

The collection will be sent to charity Christian Response to Eastern Europe (CR2EE) for sorting in Exmouth before being dispatched to Ukraine and Moldova.

Bow Gospel Hall can be found on Junction Road in Bow at postcode EX17 6HN. Donations can also be dropped off there on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month between 10am and 11am.

Moldova is the second poorest country in Europe after Ukraine.
