Post Office (UK) supports world aids day with launch of limited edition phone card

The Post Office is proud to be supporting World AIDS Day on 1 December with the launch of a limited edition red ribbon phone card. 50 per cent of the profits from the sale of the card will be donated to the National AIDS Trust.

The theme of this year’s World AIDS Day is ‘Let’s Get Talking’ and it is estimated that on 1 December, people will talk for over 800 hours on the Post Office’s® International Phone Cards.

The Post Office wants to offer customers the option of cheap and easy calls abroad but also give them the opportunity to show their support for those affected by HIV and AIDS. The Post Office is hoping this partnership will help to break the silence about HIV and AIDS in the UK and across the globe.

Nick Gittens, Post Office head of corporate responsibility, said: “By offering these services, we are making it easy for our customers to do their bit for World AIDS Day. By simply choosing the unique GBP 15 international phone card in the weeks running up to World AIDS Day, our customers will have contributed to the National AIDS Trust and shown their support for the millions affected by HIV and AIDS.”

As well as benefitting from low cost calls to destinations across the globe, on World AIDS Day customer will be able to call China, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore for free between 12noon and 12midnight. And on 2nd December, customers will be able to call Poland and South Africa for an unlimited time for only 15p.
