On August 4 2020, a massive explosion destroyed the port of Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon. People died, families became homeless and livelihoods were destroyed. The impact on the city and its people is immense. The eastern part of Beirut’s port has been devastated, and buildings across the city severely damaged. The recovery and rebuilding rests on a challenging backdrop of Lebanon’s ongoing economic crisis, and the tragic and complex challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. UKCM were proud to donate £100 through The British Red Cross in support of the families and communities affected by the recent explosions in Beirut. #WeStandWithLebanon

We had some lovely feedback after we donated some stationery supplies to a teacher in prep for the kids returning to school after lockdown… "…paper and envelopes have been used by the older children to write a letter to any life form there may be on Mars…having something different to write on and of such lovely quality it brought out their best work." Glad we could help – let us know if they reply!
