Donations are off to Ukraine - Boxes of Hope picked up from Lynn News Office




A van-full of donations has been sent off from the Lynn News office to the Boxes of Hope charity base.

We started collecting donations for those impacted by the war in Ukraine following an appeal from the Holbeach charity for drop-off points around West Norfolk.

The donations include clothes and medical equipment and more will be sent over to Ukraine in the next week.
