People wishing to support the Ukrainian refugees who have been crossing the border from Ukraine into Poland can do so by dropping off donations at various drop-off points around Ireland.

So far, businesses have been inundated with support, receiving packages for everything from toiletries to bedding and baby products.

Sharing a list of some drop-off across Ireland, Roz Purcell took to Instagram to highlight some businesses taking donations, as well as some other drop-off points in various parts of the country.

“Collected list of donation points. I hope this is easier to follow than the chaotic list each day,” Roz wrote online. If you have any more to add across Ireland please drop them below. Each collection may be opening at different times/ be requesting different items or require boxing- so do contact them first to save yourself and them time,” she continued.
