Another truckload of donations and supplies left to Ukraine from Carlisle, yesterday afternoon (April,4).
The wagon, containing 32 pallets of aid, including nappies, toiletries, baby food, clothes and dried food are making their way to Zlotoryja and Jawor in Poland to help arriving Ukranian refugees.
All donations and transport have been orchestrated by Polish Shop Dino's owner Krystian Klicki alongside the help of Krystna Mishow and Laura Cooper, and with the combined effort from supporters of the Dino Supports Ukraine Facebook page.
The relief package left from Carlisle's Lowther Street at 3pm, with the former Iceland being used to store all donations.
District commissioner for The Scouts, Laura Cooper, said: "The donations have been received and sorted by so many volunteers from the Polish community including Anna, Piotr, Malwina, Paulina along with volunteers from Carlisle, and together with local scouts," she said.

This is the third truckload to be sent to Poland from Carlisle, making up for around 70 tonnes worth of humanitarian aid being orchestrated under Dino Supports Ukraine.
Krystian said: "I intend to keep sending aid to Poland where it's needed for as long as its required.
"Donations can be dropped off to the Polish Shop Dino or to the hub in Kingstown for larger deliveries.
"Funds will also be needed to allow another wagon to be sent," he said.
The team behind Dino Supports Ukraine want to thank organisations throughout Cumbria and South West of Scotland for their continued generosity including, Cumbria Park Hotel, Mayfield School, Central Cafe in Harraby, Carlisle Golf Club, The Pot Place Garden Centre as well as others.
A special plaudit goes to the team at Wates Construction, who at the last minute, kindly provided a forklift and driver from their building operation at the Sands Centre, to help load the lorry yesterday afternoon, after the original forklift malfunctioned prior to loading.
The group aim to deliver another wagon-load of aid after Easter, and will continue to do so 'for as long' as they have too.
Any donations are appreciated and can be left at any of the four Polish shops or the warehouse in Kingstown.
