We thank you all sincerely for the volunteer support and donations appeal for Ukraine. All the donations that have been collected either at Rayleigh Megacentre, Our Lady of Ransom or Leigh Community Centre will be making their way to Moldova in the safe hands of the charity UK AID https://www.uk-aid.org/ via Megacentre Rayleigh who forged this link. At this time we have ceased collecting donations. Thank you ALL. The response from this local area has been staggering.
If anyone would like to know how to offer further practical support this can be made through Aid to the Church In Need:

or via the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in London:

These Charities are working on the front-line to bring humanitarian relief and the funds will go there directly.
