"Help for Heroes" Gets A Silver Lining

Online, March 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Berwick-based jewellery business Signature Silver has signed up to supporting the nation's military by pledging financial contributions to the "Help for Heroes" charity, which provides help for forces personnel injured in the line of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Signature Silver handcrafts fingerprint jewellery from pure silver, creating a unique product. Owners personalise their choice of jewellery with the fingerprint of a loved one, creating a high quality, lifelong keepsake to treasure.
Sisters Gemma Deighton and Hannah Hodgson come from a forces background, their father and uncle serving with the RAF, though this was'nt their only inspiration, as Gemma/Hannah explains:
"Living and working in Berwick, we're very aware of the military history of the area, and know that a lot of local people serve in the forces. By pledging £1 from every sale to "Help for Heroes", we can do our bit to make sure that these brave people receive the best care possible if they are unfortunate enough to be injured. We are also offering a 5% discount on all products to forces families because we know from personal experience how difficult it can be for the families left behind when a loved one is serving abroad."
Continuing the military theme, Signature Silver will be launching a "dog tag"-style pendant, which they hope will help generate more funds for "Help for Heroes". The business has also been invited to present their products to families at Army barracks in the North and in Scotland as it continues to expand its product and customer base.
