Nuneaton community steps forward to support donations for Ukraine

Posted on:

A collection point at Warwickshire County Council’s COVID test in Nuneaton has been overwhelmed with the response from local communities donating essential items to be sent to Ukraine.  

Staff at the United Reform Church test centre, on Chapel Street in Nuneaton put the call out a couple of days ago to ask for donations as they felt they wanted to do something practical to support the crisis in Ukraine.  

Donations can be dropped off at the test site – United Reform Church, Chapel Street, Nuneaton, CV11 5QH between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 4pm on Saturday. Please note we are unable to accept clothes at this time. If you are looking to donate there is a specific list of donation requests which includes:  

  • Blankets  
  • Toiletries – including nappies, toothpaste, and sanitary towels  
  • Torches  
  • Tinned and dried food – it needs to be in date  
  • PPE  
  • First aid kits – including bandages, plasters, and pain killers  
  • Camping equipment – sleeping bags and mats  
  • Travel cots – need to be in good condition  

All donations will be sent to the Poland-Ukraine border.  

If you are unable to get to the test site, donations can also be sent to ABW Studio and Event Media, Centenary Business Centre in Hammond Close, Nuneaton, CV11 6RY.
