A charity's Christmas shoebox campaign collected 7,476 boxes for Ukraine.
Blythswood Care (SW) thanked people for their donations and volunteers who helped process the boxes filled with practical gifts.
Collection points included schools, churches, shops, cafes, and estate agents in the South West.
Special thanks were given to South Chard Church, St Joseph's Church in Ilminster, The Minster Church in Ilminster, J B Wheaton & Sons Ltd, Carbin Heating Ltd, Purple Tool Hire, Tesco Community Fund (Chard), and Horton Village Hall.
A team from RNAS Yeovilton loaded the boxes onto a lorry bound for Ukraine.
