Giˆs that Give Back

Promoting environmental and humanitarian change for the better,
the Bilby and Sambourne Sports Bottles (page 152) and the Refresh
Recycled Ball Pen (page 23) have much to oer. Branded the ‘promos
that give back’, these items give a percentage of every bottle or pen sold
goes straight to HUGS (reg. 1098176) to help in dierent ways.

The Bilby and Sambourne Bottles help to provide safe water sources for
thousands of impoverished children and their families at direct risk of
waterborne illness in Uganda. For every bottle sold, a donation of 20p
is given directly to fund the provision of sanitation, latrines and water
catchment facilities so that children don’t have to walk long distances.

The Refresh Pen directly supports the supply of essential stationary
to schools in Uganda, with 5p from every pen sold donated, ensuring
children have the tools they need for a better education and a brighter
future.
