Donating to Ukraine crisis
/Lymington and Pennington Town Council stands united with the people of Ukraine during this ongoing crisis.
At a time when the ongoing violence is causing people to flee their homes and take refuge in its bordering countries, we ask ourselves what can we do to help.
The number of people making donations has been momentous, with distribution centres across our country overwhelmed with gifts in support of people now temporarily or permanently displaced.
Charities such as The Red Cross and Oxfam are responding to the crisis, working closely on the ground with local aid agencies to purchase items, including medical supplies, sanitary items and hygiene equipment. They are able to move quickly, purchasing locally without shipping delays and stimulating the local economy with a lower environmental impact. That's why making a cash donation is one of the most effective ways to give your support.
