My name is Olga and I am a Ukrainian living in the UK.
My family are all surrounded by Russian forces and along with thousands of others have no way out.
They want to stay and fight for freedom. I am raising funds for the Ukrainian embassy who are in desperate need of money.
All profits (without administration fee) of each Flame of Freedom candle will go directly to humanitarian causes via the UNICEF Emergency Appeal to protect children.
The Flame of Freedom may burn low at times, but it must never be extinguished.
By purchasing this candle, you are contributing to making sure it will always burn brightly.

Olga has also been featured in various publications including Get Reading, Berkshire Live, The Windsor Express and The Maidenhead Advertiser.
Eton's Historic Name in Candle Making
Established in 1661
William West is based in the Cockpit, Eton, a 15th century timber-framed building, is the oldest building in the town.
Candles have been made here since 1661, when the building was inhabited by the tallow chandler, William West, who started the candle making that we have now carried on in to the 21st Century.
Currently the Cockpit is being renovated so we are in temporary premises for now, but we hope to be back in the building by the summer.
Celebrating Our Royal Location
