Ukraine: Stockport charity ramps up war relief operations
A war relief charity is to send more medical volunteers to help victims of the war in Ukraine as the group ramps up its operations.
UK-Med, which has an office at Manchester University and a warehouse in Stockport, has helped during conflicts and crises for about 40 years.
Earlier in March medics from the charity arrived on the Poland-Ukraine border to establish a field hospital to help refugees.
