Donating to Charity
A number of our Member organisations have organised fundraising activities such as Silicone Engineering who have been gathering donations to help those displaced by the war and staff at HITEK Electronic Materials who held a cake sale to raise money which was quadrupled by the company. We will share these activities on social media and in our Member e-newsletter.
When donating, please ensure you only donate to reputable charities such as:
The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). Every pound given by the UK public is matched by the government, up to the value of £20 million.
