UK – The BPMA (British Promotional Merchandise Association) and its members are deeply concerned about the humanitarian crisis in the Ukraine. So that it can offer the appropriate support, the association has contacted several aid organisations to find out precisely which donations are needed. Based on this information, the BPMA has compiled both a list of the organisations that prefer financial donations, as well as a list of the items needed – from blankets, raincoats, hats and socks, to hygiene items, baby food, masks and disinfectant, through to inflatable beds, rucksacks, thermal flasks, power banks and cable connections.
The BPMA member, Prominate UK, is collecting the goods and is coordinating and financing the transportation of them to Romania and Poland. As a member of the international distributor alliance, IPPAG (International Partnership for Premiums and Gifts), Prominate UK has partner companies in both countries. From there the goods will be forwarded on to the corresponding aid centres. Anyone, who would like to make donations in kind to the campaign, can contact Colette Jeanes per e-mail at colette.jeanes@prominate.uk, stating the contents of the package as well as its weight and dimensions.
