STA Refugee Crisis Appeal

Posted on by Fiona Campbell

Scottish Tourism Alliance Launches an Appeal to 

Support the Refugee Crisis

The STA has pledged to help provide aid to refugees in Europe and has co-ordinated an appeal on behalf of the tourism industry in Scotland.
 
They’ve called it #onehourspay and are asking that you donate one hour of your salary to the Scottish Refugee Council (via the STA’s JustGiving page), an independent charity helping refugees and asylum seekers across Scotland.
You can donate anonymously if you wish and you can donate whatever feels right.
 
1.  Visit the STA JustGiving page and donate whatever you can. 
2.  Send this link to anyone you know that might want to help, and invite them to donate – OneHoursPay.
3.  If you’re on Twitter, please share the message (and follow and RT at @ST_Alliance).
 
Our industry has a great reputation for coming together to support worthy causes and make a collective difference. 
By supporting this campaign, we can do something outstandingly special and help to transform the lives of hundreds of people facing a pretty bleak future.
 
The appeal will end on 31 October.
