Sutton Coldfield families take part in walk for Ukraine
Kind-hearted families in Sutton have helped raise more than £1000 for the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal after getting together for a sponsored walk with their little ones.
And the group were given wonderful support by Blackroot Bistro, who made a generous donation towards their efforts.
Organiser Helen Lonsdale said: "After seeing the awful events unfold over the last week I felt I needed to do something to help.
"I contacted local parents and asked if they would be willing to take part in a sponsored toddle. It was quite last minute but 10 families signed up to join us.
"We met at the Blackroot Bistro, who kindly donated 50% of everything we spent at the cafe to our fundraising effort and our little ones toddled from there for an hour before returning for a Bistro-gifted creme egg!
"I'd just like to say a huge thank you to the families who joined us and those who donated."
With an initial target of £200, the group has raised an incredible £1,166.
