Hinckley residents come together to help refugees fleeing Ukraine

A silent candlelit vigil was held in Hinckley on Friday evening.

Hinckley and Bosworth residents gathered at Argents Mead Bandstand to show solidarity for Ukraine.

As well as lighting candles people showed their support by donating money and goods.

In total, the vigil raised £847.45 and bags of goods were donated to Local charity Feed the Hungry.

Feed the Hungry are still looking for donations of sleeping bags, blankets, hygiene items and dry food.

You can bring donations to the Hinckley Hub during office hours.
