Aid for Ukraine

Cllr Tariq Dar is organising collection of medicine, blankets and food. You can take to 233 Willesden Lane 10am to 7pm Monday to Saturday.
Matilda Velevitch (of Care for Calais charity) also provided me a list of verified non-profit making agencies involved and felt that, at this stage financial donations were going to be more useful: Now, I think, those charities have come together in the Disasters Emergency Committee. https://www.dec.org.uk/
