Volunteers who ran a charity shop to help people in war-torn Ukraine are desperately hunting for new premises. Telford
Alan De La Hay and Ali Cosh, who are disappointed that their Help Ukraine Telford shop in Bridgnorth High Street has had to close
The 50-year-old, from Wellington, said: “I can’t imagine it ending just because we’ve lost the shop. I can’t allow it to end. I refuse. Wellington Cricket Club has given the group the use of its changing rooms to store their stock until the end of February, but after that, the fundraising group will have nowhere to collect donations and sell stock.
“We were making about £1,200 a month here so that covered the trip. We know we’re definitely going over again in February and we have enough money for that, but after that we’re hard pushed again. "Obviously, they don't have the power when they're downloading the footage, so they do it all by battery. We're hoping to get the exact specifications so we can try and organise something.
"They've got people living in their own houses or in basements who need medical supplies to run on electricity to keep them alive - and they don't have electricity. "They said, 'We can give them loads of fish but that's pointless, what we need to do is give them the fishing rod so they can help themselves'. It's not just about feeding them," Ali said.Despite all of the work Ali and her fellow volunteers have done, she still believes they can do more."It's barely on the telly now.
