Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles and Ellie Goulding are among the stars who have donated items to a raffle raising money for Ukraine organised by the World Health Organisation.

A message on the WHO’s Human Kind website states: “Amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, more than 17 million people urgently need their health and wellbeing to be protected.
“Be Human Kind. Donate today.
“Celebrities and brands around the world have donated exclusive items and experiences you could own. For as little as £5 or $10, make a donation to be in with a chance to win.
