Rhug Estate has set up its conference room as a donation site for the people of war-torn Ukraine.
Blankets, coats for women and children, warm clothes including hats, gloves, scarfs and socks can be dropped off at the conference centre behind the farm shop between 9am and 5pm on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, March 4 - 7 March.
Lord Newborough, owner of Rhug Estate said: “I have friends who are still in Ukraine. There are Rhug Estate staff who have family still in Ukraine.
"These are normal families who are now concerned for their lives. They have sent me terrifying footage of the war that is going on on their doorstep.
"We have to do all we can to help. We searched for a local donation site but couldn’t find one in this area of Denbighshire so the team here at Rhug have rallied round and we will become that local drop off site for everyone to come to and donate items.”
He added: "The situation looks set to become Europe’s largest refugee crisis this century. The people of Ukraine are relying on international aid and the generosity of strangers around the world. We must do all we can.”
