2010 Programme - 2009 programme - 2008 Programme
As a vital part of its ethical policy and activities, EPTDA strives to partner with charity organisations around the world, and make a contribution to support the welfare of society and the environment. All members and industry stakeholders are invited to donate discretely and voluntarily at any time of the year, or as part of their Annual Convention registration fees.
The European Power Transmission Distributors Association joins hands with international or local organizations to help and support projects that EPTDA deems within its scope of activities. This kind of partnerships is one of the concrete examples of EPTDA's commitment to responsible business.
We warmly invite all of our members, associates and partners to take part in the future projects. Your support is needed.
EPTDA invites you to make a change for good!
In 2010, the European Power Transmission Distributors Association is joining hands with the Maltese Puttinu Cares Children's Cancer Support Group as a vital part of its ethical policy and charity activities. Through this partnership, EPTDA and Puttinu Cares support the welfare of our society.
The Puttinu Cares Cancer Support Group was set up in 2002 and began from an idea and a wish to offer a holistic approach of care for families who have children suffering from cancer. The founders of Puttinu Cares were Dr. Victor Calvagna and Mr. Rennie Zerafa.
The first project of the group was to bring to life the dull children's ward in the old St. Luke's Hospital. With the help of volunteers and sponsors the ward was brightened up with vivacious colours and fun pictures for the children. An annual Summer Barbecue is held for the children and their families as well as a Christmas party where presents are given out to all the children. These activities have become a yearly event in Puttinu's calendar. Moreover other smaller activities are held throughout the year.
EPTDA will contribute 10% of its total convention sponsorship revenues to this charity organisation. You too can make a difference and donate on a volunteer, individual basis.
This partnership is one of the concrete examples of EPTDA's commitment to responsible and ethical business. Thereby, EPTDA can make a lasting contribution towards greater justice, democracy and respect for diversity.
EPTDA warmly invites all its members and partners who have not yet contributed, to join too.
Your support is needed and any amount is valued. Simply fill in the donation form below and return it to the EPTDA Bureau (by email to info@eptda.org or fax + 32 2 709 2311).

In 2009, EPTDA continues its commitment to supporting the welfare of our society and the environment. EPTDA this year has selected an Italian charity organisation protecting the rights of children and adolescents through phone counselling centres, a research and a permanent institute on childhood and adolescence - Telefono Azzurro - for its charity programme.
Telefono Azzurro Onlus, based in Rome, is a permanent observatory of childhood. Their commitment is to turn into reality the rights of children and adolescents, in a society that really respects them. The core of Telefono Azzurro Onlus Foundation's activity is the telephone counseling service. For 365 days per year, night and day children find a real answer to their "right to be listened to", which has been recognized for children by the International Convention on the Rights of Children.
Since 1987 Telefono Azzurro Onlus is committed to promoting total respect of the child during the whole age of development, defending his natural potentialities of growth, and protecting him from any physical and psychological abuse. Telefono Azzurro Onlus's commitment is to turn into reality the rights of children and adolescents, in a society that really respects them.
More information on Telefono Azzurro Onlus and its activities can be found at www.azzurro.it.
EPTDA and Telefono Azzurro Onlus Foundation thank you in advance for your valuable contribution towards a better society.
In 2008, the Board of EPTDA decided to support a Belgium-based organization - the "Fondation Roi Baudoin" (King Baudouin Foundation). The focus this year is on special projects aimed at the welfare of autistic children.
The King Baudouin Foundation of Belgium, an independent and pluralistic foundation, pursues sustainable ways to bring about justice, democracy and respect for diversity. The activities of the King Baudouin Foundation are aimed at everyone who lives in Belgium but the Foundation also works at European and international levels. The mission of the King Baudouin Foundation is to help improve the living conditions for the population.
As the world recognises its first ever World Autism Awareness Day in 2008, EPTDA is contributing its 2008 charity efforts to special projects focusing on the autistic children supported by the King Baudouin Foundation.
More information on the Foundation and its activities can be found at www.kbs-frb.be.
Please join us in making a difference and contributing as much as we can.
EPTDA and King Baudouin Foundation thank you for your valuable contribution in 2008.
