Children at a Cheltenham school put their best foot forward to raise money for Ukraine.

Students, parents and staff contributed to the fundraising effort, bringing in a total of £1,670, with many taking part in a special run.

The children have also been gathering items to take to the Gloucestershire hub for Ukraine donations in Gloucester.

Gloucestershire County Council has organised a new collection depot at Unit 3, Chancel Close, off Eastern Avenue in Gloucester.

Donations can be dropped off between 10am and 6pm on Thursday and between 11am and 4pm on Saturday. These hours may be subject to alteration.

The new location was set up after the initial use of WMB Logistics warehouse on the Waterwells Business Park in Quedgeley came to an end.

Mike Stratford, deputy headteacher at Cheltenham Bournside School, said: "Thank you to the students, parents, carers and staff who supported our recent Ukraine Fundraising Day. Together we raised a fantastic £1670.49. By adding our donation to The Z Zurich Foundation's online fundraiser, the total has been match-funded and a total of £3,340.98 will be split evenly between the International Rescue Committee, International Committee of the Red Cross and Save the Children to support victims of the Ukrainian crisis.

"A minibus of the essential items donated has also been dropped at the new Gloucester Ukraine Drop."
