Story

RAFFLE NOW ENDED! THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2 WINNERS! WE RAISED SO MUCH MONEY FOR THE BRITISH RED CROSS xx

Like a lot of you, I feel a bit helpless when it comes to the war in Ukraine and the terrible refugee crisis that is now inevitable. Also, like a lot of you I cannot afford to give £5000 to charity, but what  can do is raffle off 2 of my handbags in the hope we can raise this money for the British Red Cross together, AND 2 people get a lovely handbag in the process.

The Gucci monogram Bee bag is probably my all-time favourite bag. It's the perfect size and shape, plus it has a BEE on it, symbol on my football team. Also, it's now a 'money can't buy' item as Gucci do not make it anymore. One person will win this. The other bag is a leather Coach bag which is also lovely and I thought it would be good to have a runner up prize in one of the colours of the Ukraine flag.

To enter, you just need to donate. I suggest £5, but any amount big or small is great. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS or INSTAGRAM name so I can contact you if you win. I will randomly choose both winners on THURSDAY 16th MARCH. First winner will get the Gucci bag, runner up will get the Coach bag. 

The British Red Cross plays a vital role in emergency response, and the ongoing, ever-changing situation concerning the war in Ukraine is no exception.In times of crisis, we’re here to help people. We’re local and we’re global and we’ve been doing this for 150 years. Our network of incredible staff and volunteers means we are uniquely placed to reach people in fearful, uncertain times.
