KCLR is playing its part in a new public fundraising campaign to raise vital funds for those affected by the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
Inspired by the incredible level of public support to date, media organisations around the country coming together to urge locals to donate online at Irelandforukraine.ie or via Revolut.
