Patient moving and handling company Care & Independence has set up a Ukraine war relief JustGiving page to support the Disasters Emergency Committee. The Bicester-based business has donated more than £1,700 by making a financial contribution from every product sold for every day since the war began.

Care & Independence managing director Ian Jones said: “Our core focus as a business is improving lives and this is the heart of what we stand for, driving us in all that we do. Our key values also include being caring and going the extra mile for the greater good. It was a natural response to the suffering we have been seeing to step up and publicly exercise our fundamental company belief system for such a current desperate humanitarian cause.”
