The President of Wells Rotary, Wendy Ray, is urging the people of Wells to help raise much needed funds for the people of Ukraine.

They don't want clothing or food at this stage. Your donations will go via our Rotary International network to reach Lviv and other cities in Ukraine as soon as possible." Donations will also be collected in Wells High Street on Saturday, March 5 and Wednesday, March 9 between 8.30am and 3pm.
