A GLASGOW-based chicken restaurant is aiming to raise £20,000 to support Ukrainian refugees.

Black Rooster Peri Peri is donating £1.40 from every meal sold over the next two weeks to the Disasters Emergency Committee's (DEC) Ukraine humanitarian appeal.

The appeal is providing immediate relief for Ukrainian refugees, of which there are an estimated 3 million at least who have fled their homes since the conflict with Russia.

Kevin Bell, director and co-founder of Black Rooster, said: “The conflict in Ukraine has devastated the lives of millions of people and the damage is growing every day.

“Homes, schools, and hospitals are being destroyed and families are fleeing for their lives, many with literally just the clothes on their backs. Tragically, people have been injured and killed.

“As a business, we couldn’t stand by and watch without trying to do something to help those trying to escape."

From Monday, March 14 to Monday, March 28 inclusive, customers will be asked if they wish to spend £2.40 to upgrade their meal to support the Ukraine appeal with £1.40, 60% of the upgrade, going directly to the fundraising drive.

They will announce the total collected at the end of the month, with 100% of the amount raised being donated to the DEC Ukraine appeal.

Kevin added: “We hope all our customers will get behind us and show their support by upgrading to a meal when possible. Every £100 raised will feed two whole families for a month so by simply adding fries and a drink to their order our customers could make a real difference to people in need.”
