Hello everyone,

Intense conflict in Ukraine is threatening the lives and livelihoods of civilians across the country, causing hundreds of thousands to flee. Like many of you, I have been shaken by the unforgivable scenes of devastation and senseless loss of life.

DEC charities and their local partners are in Ukraine and across the border in the neighbouring countries. They are working to meet the immediate needs of all people fleeing with food, water, medical assistance, protection and trauma care. £30 could provide essential hygiene supplies for three people for one month, £50 could provide blankets for 4 families to keep them warm and £100 could provide emergency food for two families for one month.

I wanted to do my part, however small, to help contribute something to this invaluable cause. So on 28th May I will be playing retro video games for 24 hours straight. If the money i raise will lessen the suffering for at least one person, then it's the least i can do.

Thank you.
