The fundraiser states: “They (Glasgow the Caring City) will ensure money raised today goes directly to help tomorrow.
“Money raised will fund requested primary aid from those on the front line of the aid effort in neighbouring countries. What is needed right now are hot meals and essential items.
“Today for only £5 you can make a big difference. Every £5 donation buys two hot meals and an essential hygiene pack containing basic toiletries such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and sanitary products for fleeing Ukrainians.
“Do something small that can make a big difference.”
itison and itison venues are donating £20,000 for the first 4000 meals and packs.
You can make a donation on the itison website.
