Jewellery business owner Dominic Sakakini has already raised more than £5,000 to help people - and pets - in the devastated country but is determined to do more.

He and his wife Becky are now staging a ‘5 Days In Ukraine’ appeal with a charity auction, meal and live band at the George and Dragon in Horsham on May 26.

“This event will be fun for us - but essential for those in Ukraine,” said Dominic.

“You’ll be having a two course meal followed by a fun auction with plenty of fabulous gifts that local business owners have donated.

“There’s a wide variety on offer from beauty treatments and meals out to a week’s stay at a fabulous holiday cottage - and many others in between.”
