The NAJ supports DEC’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal

03 Mar 2022

It is with great sadness that the National Association of Jewellers watch the developing situation in Ukraine as it unfolds, and our thoughts are with all of the Ukrainian people and their families at this time and any NAJ Members and other partners in the trade that are affected by the developing situation are encouraged to get in touch with the NAJ if we can be of assistance in any way.

NAJ President, David Doyle, suggests ways members can help the emerging crisis,

“It’s often the way for many of us, myself included, that we read about appalling situations unfolding in the world and whilst we would very much wish to help and do our bit we just aren’t quite sure how to do it……which Charity should we donate to, will the money that we donate get to where it needs to be, will it arrive in a timely fashion?

“With this in mind, I asked team NAJ to do a little research on Charities so that we might be able to recommend one with confidence for those of you that would like to contribute to helping the people of Ukraine. The link to the charity we are recommending is here, so please help if you can and donate with confidence.”

Donating to the DEC Charities

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 work together to respond quickly to overseas disasters and crises.

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 donate through the DEC with confidence. The UK Government has pledged to fund match up to a total of £20 million, meaning your generous donation is likely to be doubled automatically.
