A Black Isle firm has organised a collection to help the Ukrainian Aid Appeal.

Molson Young Plant Sales, which has a depot in Tore, is using its expertise in logistics and transportation to help out.

Bosses are appealing to customers, suppliers and staff to leave donations at the depot in Old Station Yard, next to Tore Car Sales.

Craig MacKinnon, who works for Molson, posted on Facebook to highlight the appeal and said: "My work is organising aid to be sent over to Ukraine to help the people over there. If you would like to donate, please either pop into the Tore Depot or drop me a message."

Donations can be left out of hours at a drop box at the gate.

A spokesman said: "We appreciate your support on this but we also ask that, as a busy business, you contact us before visiting any of our sites to ensure everyone's safety."

Donations that will be welcomed, which must all be new and unopened, include:

• first aid kits;

• bandages;

• sterile dressings;

• surgical tape;

• wound closure strips;

• toothbrushes and toothpaste;

• wet and antibacterial wipes;

• soap;

• blankets;

• sleeping bags;

• socks and thermal wear;
