Heavy fighting, shelling and air strikes across Ukraine have had devastating consequences. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has stated that more than ten million people have now fled their homes to escape intense conflict in Ukraine. More than four million have fled the country. Leaving behind loved ones, livelihoods and almost everything they own, they need shelter, food, and water. People are losing their homes and lives, essential services like water and healthcare have been hit and temperatures have dropped below zero. 

We have decided to fundraise for the people of Ukraine by running a raffle fundraiser. A wonderful group of small businesses have generously donated some amazing items that you can win. Our aim is to raise at least £750 and donate the sum to The Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. 

Raffle tickets are £3 each, or you can get 5 tickets for £10! 

NOTE: Please make sure that you leave either your instagram handle or your email in the comment section of your donation so that we can contact the winner easily! 

Prizes have been donated by: @jemsjewellery_ @water.baby.jewellery , @raymakesthings , @by.belladesigns , @elosaclothinguk , @wearemarch_ , @cecethelabel (instagram handles)
