A Plea To the Industry – EMC Advertising Gifts

A project that John Kay (ex Sales Director of EMC Advertising Gifts) is heavily involved in is asking for help to get together notepads, pens and clothing for a temporary school set up to offer the best education possible to the children caught in the refugee camp in Calais.

These are needed for their basic function, not aesthetics, so any unwanted stock or misprints would be gladly accepted. As the refugees are mostly from Africa and malnourished, sizes from Baby up to Large are most useful.

If you have anything that you think could be of use, please contact Simon Kay at EMC Advertising Gifts –  simonkay@emcadgifts.co.uk or 0208 492 2208.
