Here are drop off points in the north east of Scotland to donate to Ukraine

A number of places in Grampian, Moray, Highland and the islands have set up donation drop-off points and fundraisers for donations to be sent to Ukraine.

With stories of Ukrainians being forced to flee their homes to escape the conflict, people from across the north and north-east have come together to collect donations for those in need.

Most places are looking for blankets, sleeping bags, nappies, toiletries and medical supplies.

They will then be transported to Ukraine, some by ferry and car and others by air.

Some drop-off points have said that they are now full and cannot accept more physical donations at the moment, so it is advised to check in advance before visiting.

Most are still looking for people to help transport donations and boxes to carry them, so keep an eye on Facebook pages for the latest updates and needs.
