A sweet way of helping Ukrainian refugees has seen Moffat Toffee maker, Sean Walker, working around the clock to meet demand.
Sean, who is also the shop’s manager, came up with the idea of making the town’s famous confectionary in the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
He made a limited edition batch and with a tutti frutti flavour and in less than two days he had sold 30 kilos of the sweets.
Sean said: “We wanted to help the refugees and it occurred to me that we could make ‘We stand with Ukraine’ Moffat Toffee with all profits donated towards helping Ukrainian refugees.
“We put it out in the shop on the first day and it was a huge hit so we had to make more and then we also put it up online. We’ve been inundated with demands from all over the UK and are working all hours to meet demand.
“We have four full-time staff here and we are thrilled it is doing so well and so far have raise £500 for the refugees in just a few days.
“We are coming up to the start of the Easter season which is always busy for us for our traditional Moffat Toffee so we will be doing our best to keep up with all orders.”
The sweets will be added to evacuation backpacks being sent out by Richard Musgrove-Wood, who runs the Moffat Outdoor Shop.
The packs include a head torch and sleeping bag to a survival bag, stove and protein bars.
