NAJ donates funds to DEC Ukraine Appeal

04 Mar 2022

The National Association of Jewellers, working in collaboration with the British Allied Trades Federation, has donated £5,000 to the Ukrainian humanitarian crisis.

 Alongside association partners in the British Allied Trades Federation, The National Association of Jewellers (NAJ) has donated £5000 to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s (DEC) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal to help provide much-needed food and supplies for those fleeing the conflict.

While hope continues for a peaceful resolution, millions of Ukrainian refugees require immediate support, donations to the fund will be used to provide urgent supplies where they are needed most. The UK Government has pledged to fund match donations to DEC up to a total of £20 million, meaning contributions are automatically doubled. The NAJ encourage and support member companies to contribute to this vital appeal in any way they can.

 David Doyle, NAJ President, commented,

 “Once again, the BATF has quickly stepped up with a very generous donation on behalf of its Trade Members to this exceptionally worthwhile cause, and the NAJ are grateful for their support as always. We are thinking of all of those people caught up in this entirely unnecessary War, and we wish them well.”

 Gary Wroe, NAJ Chair, commented,

“I’m delighted that the BATF has agreed to support their Trade Associations with this generous contribution towards helping with the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine, and we are very grateful to them. We would encourage all member companies to contribute too using the links we have all over social media.”

 

Donating to the Disasters Emergency Committee

The Disasters Emergency Committee brings together 15 of the leading UK aid charities in times of humanitarian crisis. British Red Cross, Action Aid, Oxfam, Save the Children, and many other charities respond quickly to overseas disasters and emergencies.

 DEC charities are in Ukraine and neighbouring countries meeting the needs of all refugees and displaced people:

• £30 could provide essential hygiene supplies for three people for one month
• £50 could provide blankets for four families
• £100 could provide emergency food for two families for one month

With endorsements from major British organisations, including the BBC, you can confidently donate through the DEC.
