Make Linlithgow a place of safety for Ukrainian families

Watching the war unfold in Ukraine has been horrifying for all of us, but it is a living nightmare for one local Linlithgow family I’ve spoken to this week who still have relatives trapped there. While the ongoing fundraising for the Disaster Emergency Committee is wonderful, Anastasia Martin’s family are desperate to help house Ukrainian refugees here in Linlithgow as soon as possible.
