Following April's Ukrainian Initiative fundraising, Service Dealer Ireland has contributed a portion of the collected monies to Project Linus.

The volunteer organisation provides a sense of security and comfort to sick and traumatised babies, children and teenagers through the provision of new, homemade patchwork quilts and knitted blankets.

The organisation's Ani Catt said, "Many thanks for your lovely donation to Project Linus UK Oxfordshire - greatly appreciated!  We provide free patchwork quilts to children 0-19yrs old who are going through a difficult time and need and extra hug or two.

"We are proud to support the Ukrainian families arriving in UK, with quilts for the children and also Welcome Bags for mums, granmas, aunties and single women being hosted in Oxfordshire. Your contribution enables us to continue supporting families throughout Oxfordshire so again - thank you very much!"
