Yesterday saw the Prime Minister, Lord William Wilson, hold an online Christmas celebration to raise money for charity.

The event – the second of its kind – was held on the instant messaging platform Discord, taking the form of a video and voice conference.

Lasting an impressive length of eleven hours, and with a total of thirteen Austenasian and foreign dignitaries taking part, the event was held to raise awareness and encourage donations for the Red Cross relief efforts in Ukraine.

A total of £78 in declared donations was reported.

The conference call saw a Christmas-themed quiz (won by Andrew I of Pontunia), as well as other online games, and friendly discussion among those taking part.

The fundraiser was held as part of 2022’s annual December charity drive by the Order of Saint Constantine – Austenasia’s Christian philanthropic order of chivalry – which this year is focusing its efforts on Ukraine.
