AN Ennis group of volunteers are working with well known Polish charity WOSP in transporting necessary supplies to the Polish/ Ukrainian border.
WOSP is the biggest non-profit charity in Poland. WOSP are collaborating with local volunteers in Ennis through the local Polish School (Polanka) in transporting vital items for the Ukrainian refugees in the coming days. This is a nationwide project initiated by our Polish community.
The items needed include, thermal blankets, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, hygiene products- toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, body wash, tampons, sanitary towels, cotton wool and baby wipes. Disposable plates, cups and cutlery. Baby food and formula. Disposable gloves and face masks. First Aid items- bandages, plasters and dressings. Powerbanks, USB charging cables, battery operated flashlights and batteries. Noise cancelling headphones and earplugs along with thermos mugs and flasks.
“These items can be dropped off at our unit at Tracklands Business Park, Clon Road More in Ennis – V95 F3C5 (beside Pitman Training Clare) each day between now and Sunday from 10am till 6pm.
“We will also have a donation drop off day at CBS Primary School on New Road in Ennis this Saturday from 10am until 3pm. We are also receiving support from both Clare County Council and Clare Civil Defence,” said a spokesperson for the volunteers.
