To aid the collection process and to avoid any wastage only items on the list of essentials should be donated:
Blankets

Mayor of Worcester, Coun Stephen Hodgson, said: “As a longstanding Warriors fan I am delighted that Worcester City Council has been able to support the club’s appeal on behalf of the people of Ukraine.”
Donors for a bulk supply of cardboard boxes and packing tape which will be used to pack the essential items are also required.
The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has set up an appeal to provide aid to those fleeing the war in Ukraine.
