Hand Poured Silver Charity Unity Rounds Exclusive to Bleyer

Hand poured silver unity rounds exclusive to Bleyer and raising money for charity.

With national lockdowns, businesses going down, mental health increasing and unemployment on the rise, this year has been hard for many people.

Unfortunately, every one of us can relate to someone that has/is struggling this year. We’re hopefully emerging from times where the subject of mental health issues and domestic violence were “hidden” and that people feel less stigmatised in reaching out for the support they need.

Bleyer has had a fabulous year, but money isn’t everything, and it’s good to help those less fortunate. We know how lucky we are and life has been really tough for some people.

As a way of giving back, we’ve teamed up with Backyard Bullion, once again, to bring you exclusive hand-poured silver, this time with all proceeds being donated to two charities; CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and NDADA (North Devon Against Domestic Abuse).

In addition to our fundraising for The Barn Owl Trust, we wanted to focus this time on making a positive impact to support individuals in our wider community.

100% of all profits will be donated to these two charities.

Please allow us to introduce our new Bleyer Silver Unity Rounds which will be available as a 1oz Silver Round and a 2oz Silver Round.

 

 

Unity Round Design

The design of these hand-poured rounds features four interlocking arms, which for us symbolise friendship, support, connection, teamwork, partnership and of course unity. They were hand-poured by Mr Backyard Bullion and have been hallmarked in Edinburgh. We’ve limited the production of these to only 50 of each weight and we won’t be creating a second mintage for 2020 so once they’re gone, they’re gone!

To us, in short, our Unity round design encompasses not only Bleyer’s ethics but also our grateful reflection of:

• The friendship, support and teamwork that we have within our team.
• Our partnership, connection, support and co-operation of our wider community of customers and suppliers.
• As a valued customer; your friendship, patience, understanding, and continued connection with us.
• An overall feeling of being united.

 

 

Weight Information

Each round has a potential overpour of 5% silver so your round will be a minimum of 1 Troy Ounce, however, as these bars have been hand-poured by eye and all bars are actually slightly over this weight.

 

Charity Donations

2020 has been difficult in so many ways for every single one of us. We’re delighted to be supporting these two great charities with every penny of the silver Unity Rounds proceeds going directly to them.

 

1. NDADA (North Devon Against Domestic Abuse)

Police recorded 259,324 domestic abuse offences between March and June and National Statistics has reported a 7% rise on the same period in 2019 (BBC, November 2020).

 

 

NDADA opened their first small refuge in a small terraced house in 1975.

Previously known as North Devon Women’s Aid, the organisation changed its name to North Devon Against Domestic Abuse (NDADA) in 2012 to encompass a much-needed service for male victims and the only one that operates in the Devon County Council area.

This organisation is funded independently as the current outreach services do not include refuge as part of their service:

• £5 = Toiletries and food for new Refuge arrivals
• £10 = Toys, educational resources and school uniform for children
• £20 = Clothes for a woman to attend a job interview and sanitary products
• £30 = Books, therapy and resources aiding mental health support
• £40 = Provides staff for live text talk services
• £70 = Coaching and counselling

2. CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)

Widely reported studies modelling the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicide rates, predicted increases ranging from 1% to 145% (BMJ, November 2020). In 2019, suicide rates among men in England and Wales were the highest since 2000, and although suicide in young people is relatively rare, rates have been rising in 10-24 year olds since 2010.
