The Lord Provosts Charitable Trust have launched an appeal for people to help with the Ukraine crisis.

Monetary donations are being sought and the money will be used to distribute to local charities which are assisting in humanitarian aid to Ukrainian residents and refugees.

The Lord Provost of Aberdeen Barney Crockett said: Our thoughts and prayers are with Ukrainian people across the world, Ukrainians in Aberdeen, and particularly those in their home country at this terrible time.

We stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and we know how much our residents want to help so we set up a crisis appeal to do something practical.
