Collecting for the Ukraine

On Saturday 26 March the Rotary Club of King’s Lynn held a collection in the centre of the town and over £900 was donated by local people.  For the past few weeks members of the public have given generously to a large number of appeals – on TV, in supermarkets and other stores, in banks and to a number of local initiatives, including that by Malcolm Catlin and Andy Kerr who travelled to the Ukraine border recently with a car load of essential items.  They continue to send money to contacts in Poland to support Ukrainian refugees and the Rotary Club will help to fund their humanitarian initiatives.
