Following the war in Ukraine, lots of UK small businesses are making an effort to raise funds and donate to the Ukrainian civilians effected. We’ve put together this guide to the small businesses supporting Ukraine, if you’d like to join in with their fundraising.
Homewares
Many makers have chosen to create blue and yellow homewares, in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, to show support and raise funds for various charity appeals. The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine, and many have included a sunflower motif on their creations too.
Sakarma Handmade and Cushy Paws have created these gorgeous flower designs pictured below, with profits going to charity. Click here to shop for the blue flowers pictured left, or click here to buy the sunflowers pictured right.
Lellibelle is donating £1 to the Sunflower for Peace foundation for every sunflower card sold (pictured below left).
