In total, £4,476.45 was raised for local organisation EastLancs4Ukraine, which is delivering aid on the ground in the Eastern European country.
Paul Whitaker, of the Brass Knuckle Riders, said: “We can’t believe how generous you all were. Every penny you gave will go towards helping aid workers help Ukrainian refugees and the victims of war in Ukraine. Brass Knuckle Riders do not take any charges; the full amount raised will be handed over.
“Thank you, each and every one of you.”
