Support UK NHS with Union Jack Sky Lantern while #StayAtHome
#SundayNightChallenge COVID-19
Once again, we thank you all for expressing concerns and sentiments on this fundraising campaign in support of the NHS.
We have been overwhelmed by the number of messages opposing the connection with the NHS.
Due to this, we have decided to stop this campaign and we are in process of refunding all orders received so far.
In good faith, our intention was to collect the money from the sale of the Union Jack Sky Lanterns and let participants to select the NHS Charity to donate 100% of the money raised during this unprecedented time. To clarify, for every Union Jack Sky Lantern sold at £6, 80% (£5) would have gone to the elected charities and 20% (£1) to HMRC in VAT.
Instead, we have decided to launch a new campaign and donate 100% of money raised (same as above) from the sale our Union Jack Sky Lanterns and Union Jack Candle Bags to charities (not associated with NHS) directly selected by every contributor.

Whist we have noticed that when we update the page, some of the comments have disappeared from the page, we are working to reinstate all of them. However, we would like to assure everyone that we have all of them on our database and all sensible and rational messages will receive a reply from us as soon as possible. In addition, while we value every comment, we never blocked anyone on our social media, nor we removed any of the comments, even if some are indecent and indigent. However, we do not allow any comment with hyperlink.
While we recognise that sky lanterns have caused inconveniences to farmers and some member of the public, we strongly believe that all those concerns are associated with poor quality sky lanterns which are not equipped with the latest innovative components, like those used to build premium, supreme and union jack sky lanterns.
In addition, we strongly advise our customers and those who intend to place an order to strictly follow guidelines and safety instructions highlighted at the end of this page and on the packaging. In particular, only use sky lanterns in appropriate weather conditions.
As emphasised by experts of the UK Trading Standard Institute (Code of Practice - Sky Lanterns 2014), "when used as intended in appropriate conditions and in small numbers, sky lanterns do not constitute a high risk. With a little care and consideration they can be enjoyed safely."
We cannot guarantee that on Sunday the weather conditions will be suitable for releasing sky lanterns and this may be different across country and you will need to be postponed to another day. For this reason, we have decided to include in each pack a Union Jack candle bags made with fireproof paper. However, please consider the possibility of using LED tea-lights to minimize the risk of fire from wax candles.
Furthermore, we have also chosen to donate 100% of the money raised from the sale of Union Jack Candle Bags, published on the following link https://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/5-union-jack-candle-bags.html
Together, we can stop this pandemic! With your help, 100% of the money raised from the sale of our Union Jack Sky Lanterns will be donated to support UK National Health Service (NHS) to fight COVID 19 and help to tackle this pandemic with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
If we soon want to return to normality, this pandemic needs global actions to stop its spread and we are all called to take responsible actions.
Order now Union Jack Sky Lanterns in support of NHS and let us all show our solidarity to NHS professionals and key workers, who are doing endless shifts, behind hospitals windows, across the whole United Kingdom.
We are all called to do our bit and we must take serious actions to stop this unprecedented pandemic.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
To facilitate the launch, it is preferable if one person holds the lanterns and another person lights the fuel cell. Remove the lanterns from the packaging and gently swing in the air to unfold/open the lantern. Hold it upside down with the fuel cell at the top. Light two opposite corners of the fuel cell and allow the flame to spread across it.
Once the fuel cell is fully ignited, flip over your sky lantern so that the heat source starts to fill it up with hot air. Using both hands, gently hold the top and bottom of the lantern allowing the warm air from the flame to build up inside.
After around 30 seconds the Sky Lantern should begin to rise. Do not release the lantern too early. At this point keep holding the bamboo ring with both hands and only when you feel the lantern lifting on its own then let it free and enjoy watching fly in the sky while thinking of a wish. #MayYourWishComeTrue
