    The students from Harrogate Ladies College were inspired to fundraise when they saw how their Ukrainian classmates were affected by the ongoing war. Other businesses in the district have also pledged to donate money.

    A group of students from Harrogate Ladies College orchestrated a march around the town centre today to raise money for the Ukraine crisis.

    The group encouraged the public to join them on the march at 2pm and collected donations in buckets.

    All money raised will be going directly to the Ukrainian Red Cross.

    One of the organisers, Mahala, said they were inspired by the fact that they had two Ukrainian students in their year group;

    "Some people are reading about it on the news but not doing anything because they're not directly impacted, but all of us seeing how hard it was for these girls made us want to try and help.
    It's hard when you feel useless because you can't do a lot, but you can donate money."


    The Ukrainian Red Cross is focusing on offering first aid and supplies to Ukrainians who have suffered as a result of the Russian invasion.

    Those who were unable to attend are still able to make donations on the JustGiving page.

    Meanwhile, Stockeld Park in Wetherby have pledged to donate £10,000 to Ukrainian charities from ticket sales for its Easter Adventure event.

    The money raised will be split between UNICEF and Ukrainian charity Voices of Children.

    Harrogate farm shop Fodder also announced on Facebook today that they will be renaming their Chicken Kiev to Chicken Kyiv in support of Ukraine, and donating a small portion of their sale profits to charity.
