CHILDREN, parents, and staff of Octopus Children’s Daycare have shown their support towards the current conflict in Ukraine by collecting and sending supplies.
Daycare manager Janet Fielding’s relative from With Print at Rooksbridge has Ukrainian family who gratefully received a large package of clothes, medical supplies, sanitary goods, nappies, and food.
Janet said: “Thank you to everybody who has donated. Every little bit counts and the children, although they don’t understand the situation in Ukraine, have been great in showing how much they care about the welfare of children and their families who are not in such a fortunate situation as we are here.”
The supplies were collected on Thursday, March 10 and left Somerset on Friday, March 11 where they were added to other collections heading towards the Polish-Ukrainian border.
Janet and the team at Octopus Children’s Daycare would like to thank everybody for all the donations given. Their thoughts are with those who have been affected.
