Available for over a year

Former Royal Marine Tom Littledyke from Lyme Regis is heading to Ukraine in a large minibus laden with supplies for refugees. His fundraising page has now reached over £7,000. Tom normally runs a couple of pubs in Marshwood and Lyme Regis, and an Italian restaurant. The 31-year-old has also told BBC Radio Solent that he is prepared to fight if necessary. He was due to pick up some people going over to fight, and he told BBC Radio Solent's Laurence Herdman he would also do likewise if it came to it. Steve Harris spoke to his partner, Georgia Wellman, who spoke of her pride and worries for his journey.
