Holly Wilson, owner of Prep Cookshop in Stoke Newington, North London recently joined forces with local retailers to collect donations for those fleeing the war in Ukraine. She recounts: “One of the shops in Stokey organised a big donation drive for the Ukraine. It showed yet again what a wonderful place we have our store.”
Holly reports: “Over three days we collected enormous amounts of donations – nappies, formula, sleeping bags, torches and batteries etc. The generosity was overwhelming and took a team of us a whole day to sort. We collected a Luton van of supplies which we took to a central point that was then sending lorry after lorry out to Poland. Small things, but it made us feel like we are at least doing something.”
