A Polish group has set up a warehouse in Scunthorpe after being inundated with donations for Ukrainian refugees.

It comes as many flee the country with items like nappies and medicine urgently needed.

Magdelena Timmins has been organising the donations:

She says "it was supposed to be a normal transit van to go, but when we started getting more and more donations we just looked at how much stuff we'd got".

"We packed everything, labelling, doing the customs documents as and when we could".

"I cannot believe it, you can only fit so much into a lorry so we had a surplus".

"It was supposed to be just one bus load not a few lorries".

"I got into contact with someone on Scunthorpe and this is the third warehouse that's been sourced".

She's thanked everyone who's helped out or donated.
