Premier has donated paper for the production of 1000 copies of 19 and 20 and Me: a record of love, loss and lockdown, a new book that shares peoples’ Covid-19 stories whilst raising money for charity.
The book, which is the brainchild of Yassamin Amir-Ahmadi, a pilates, garuda and foundation training instructor based in Dorset, shares the personal stories of more than 60 different people over the pandemic period.
The print and production of the book were sponsored by Canon and Henry Ling Limited, whilst Premier donated G Print Smooth 130gsm for the text and UPM Digi Finesse Silk 150gsm for the covers.
All proceeds from the sale of 19 and 20 and Me will be donated to charities such as Mind, Shelter, The Trussell Trust and the Arts for Life Project.
‘When Helen at Henry Ling approached me about the project I was instantly sold,’ said Premier Paper’s Ben Woolf. ‘Covid has, without exception, touched everyone in one way or another. The prospect of supporting a valued customer while helping to create a lasting mark, something positive to acknowledge people’s experiences and on top, raise funds for a suite of charities was too good an opportunity to turn down.
‘Furthermore, to create a book seemed the most fitting medium, given the number of people who rediscovered a love of reading through lock down.’
The CO2 emissions from the paper used in the production of the book have been mitigated through the Carbon Capture programme, directly supporting the work of the Woodland Trust.
