Earthquake Collection
Club collects £1200 at Morrisons Nailsworth
Following the devastating earthquake on Turkey and northern Syria, the Club approached Morrisons Nailsworth to request a collection day. On Saturday 18th February, Club members collected a wonderful total of £1200.
Our
collection was donated to ShelterBox, the UK based disaster relief charity
which was started by the Rotary Club of
Helston-Lizard in Cornwall in 2000. ShelterBox volunteers, many of them
Rotarians, are highly trained and travel to disaster hit areas at short notice to
ensure help is provided quickly and effectively. Many of you will know our own
Nailsworth Liz Odell who has helped at 21 disaster deployments.
ShelterBox provides tents and a range of equipment
such as thermal blankets and groundsheets, water storage and purification
equipment, solar lamps, cooking utensils, a basic tool kit, mosquito nets and a
children's activity pack. These enable a family to help support themselves in
the aftermath of a disaster.
Our thanks to Morrisons Nailsworth for enabling us to collect and the people of Nailsworth and area for generously donating.
