Packaging firm delivers hope to refugees, A&A Packaging firm from horndean has been praised for backing a charity’s bid to deliver essential supplies to stricken families in war-torn Syria.

The season of good will shows no sign of ending in the village as A&A Packaging have donated empty boxes to the Don’t Hate, Donate campaign.

Their donation will make a huge difference as the boxes have been filled with vital supplies that will be given to people who have escaped Aleppo and other war-ravaged parts of the country. The firm, located on westfield industrial estate, decided to help after being contacted out of the blue by a campaigner a few days before Christmas.

The items in boxes have all been donated by Well-Wishers with collections taking place between 10am and 9pm every Wednesday and Sunday at Venture Tower, Fratton Road, Portsmouth.

Chantelle Burton, Don’t Hate, Donate trustee, thanked A&A for its generosity and hopes other firms around East Hampshire, Havant and Winchester districts will copy their lead.

For details and to donate visit Venture Tower on Wednesdays and Saturdays or look for the campaign on Facebook and Twitter.
