Sukie told The Southern: “Following the monthly ‘Sukie’s Scones’ pop up to support Opportunities Zambia, we decided that we should run the shop a second day to raise money to do our bit to support the desperate situation for the people of Ukraine.

“It turns our that there are lots of amazing people in the Borders, as not only did regular bakers produce the goods, but we saw new faces too.
