Almost £900 has been raised to support the people of war-torn Ukraine after a gripping film about a Ukrainian gymnast was screened in Market Harborough.
Some 77 people went along to see the special showing of Olga at Harborough Theatre on Saturday (March 19).
Cinemas all over the UK have united behind Ukraine with a series of preview charity screenings of Olga – the moving story of a gifted Ukrainian gymnastic star forced to train in exile.
