Last week, we launched the Newsquest #ThereWithUkraine appeal to help support those affected by the war in Ukraine.
On Thursday, March 17 we donated 5p from newspaper sales across dozens of our titles to the Red Cross DEC Ukraine Humanitarian appeal, to help those in need.
We also set up a JustGiving page, which has now passed £10,000 thanks to the generosity of our readers.
So far, we have raised £10,295 for The British Red Cross Society and hope to do much more in the coming weeks.
Every penny counts - we've had donations from £2 to £1,000 - and any contribution, large or small, will make a big difference. One selfless person even donated their entire month's state pension!
There is still more we can do and we're asking for your help even further as the war rages on.
Our JustGiving page is a single appeal across all our news titles and we will continue to highlight the heroic actions of our communities who are doing all they can to help Ukrainians.
All the money raised will go to the British Red Cross Society DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
The British Red Cross is involved in humanitarian work in Ukraine, helping the civilians who have been affected by the ongoing crisis.
Your donation could help someone affected get food, water, first aid, medicines, warm clothes, and shelter.
All of Newsquest's titles across the UK are united in our efforts to support the people of Ukraine. Please donate what you can via the link to our JustGiving page below.
As we are #ThereWithYou, we hope you will stand with us and be #ThereWithUkraine.

None of the donation will be collected by Newsquest. Financial transactions are with JustGiving to donate to the British Red Cross Society DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
In the unlikely event that the British Red Cross Society raise more money than can be reasonably and efficiently spent, any surplus funds will be used to help them prepare for and respond to other humanitarian disasters anywhere in the world.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
