Morecambe’s Mazuma Stadium has become a donation point for essential items to help refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.
Donations are being accepted in Main Reception at the Mazuma Stadium from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, which will then be collected by Co-Chairman Rod Taylor, before being transported to Ukraine.
