OUTSIDE of Malvern, there are a number of other places in the district helping Ukraine. 

From showing messages of support to collecting donations, the area has been showing its support throughout the conflict.

In Upton Upon Severn, the town's baptist church is collecting donations and has raised more than £2,000 to help people in Ukraine.

With the help of its Polish friends, the church has linked with a camp in Poland welcoming refugees from Ukraine.

Camp Ostroda has the resources to host 180 refuges but needs more donations to enable them to buy food and essential medical supplies.

The camp already has 86 people, of whom most are unaccompanied children between 3 and 10 years old and around 20 adults.

An extra 40 children and then another 50 children are expected to arrive on separate buses in the future.

People wishing to help are asked to drop off a donation at church marked ‘Ukraine’.

Rev. Amy Wearing said: "I am overwhelmed by the generosity of people in Upton.

"We only launched the appeal yesterday and over £2000 was given in the first 24 hours - but the need is overwhelming massive and the money enables meals to be provided for children who have been through and continue to go through such horrific trauma.

"Camp Ostròda is able to offer a safe loving home and we are able to support them through giving."

All the money raised from the Upton Baptist appeal will go to the camp and next week the chapel will be open from 10am until 2pm for people to pray for Ukraine.
