The Leader of Woking Borough Council, Cllr Ayesha Azad, has issued the following statement in response to the Ukraine crisis.
“Today [9 March 2022] we raise the Ukrainian flag above the Civic Offices in support of Ukraine and its citizens, and in support of freedom and democracy the world over.
“The scenes portrayed through the media are horrifying and alarming. Towns similar to ours are being destroyed and their populations forced to flee. If the situation was reversed, we would need international support so we must all do what we can to help the humanitarian relief effort.
“Details of how to donate can be found on our website along with information about local appeals and collections. If you’re co-ordinating a local appeal, please talk to us as we may be able to support you.”
