CREDITON and District Lions would like to thank shoppers at the town’s Tesco’s store and the wider community for generously supporting their collection of most needed goods to send to Ukraine.

Four overflowing trolleys full of donated items are now on their way via the organisation Cornwall and Devon Sending Love to Ukraine, with even more donations to follow soon.

A grand total of £175 donated on the day bought even more items, such as expensive baby formula, to add to the collection.

Lion Ann Whitehouse said: “Conditions in Ukraine are bleak and we know that our donations make a real difference to people’s lives. Thank you for putting a smile on someone’s face and showing that you care!”
