"We cannot even imagine the devastation Ukrainian families have had to endure in leaving behind their homes as well as being separated from their loved ones in these circumstances during their child's cancer treatment.

"When we were going through treatment with Oliver all we ever wanted was to be at home, together, because that was where we were safe and complete.

“Ukrainian families facing childhood cancer do not have any of these things, and together we need to do what we can to make the UK their new safe place.

"For this reason we have decided that all money raised in The LoveOliver Shop on Saturday, March 26, from 10:am-4:00pm, will go directly to support Ukrainian childhood cancer families who have come to the UK for treatment.”
