Harrow fundraisers raised the cash to send a lorry full of £21,000 of essentials to Ukrainian refugees - and even loaded it.

The Rotary Club of Northwick Park has been collecting tens of thousands of pounds to supply eight refugee centres in Moldova.

A lorry was loaded up with pallets of pasta, rice beans, peas, instant noodles, tinned tomatoes and dried fish.

The lorry was also loaded with other housing, educational and hygiene items such as nappies, sterile wipes, first-aid dressings, underwear and towels.

After rotarians raised the money over the past two weeks, UK Aid organised transport for club members to Felsted in Essex to load the lorry.

The rotary club says it has been continuously collecting and delivering aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February this year.
