While other businesses, such as Petisco and Sugo Pasta Kitchen, will donate a range of prizes to the raffle.

A post on Stanley Square's social media said: "We have been moved by events in Ukraine and we want to do what we can to support those fleeing the crisis."

The overall fund at the end of the day is to be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee, which delivers aid to refugees from Ukraine via its Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
