I have discovered this charity and wanted to tell others about it. Obviously who ever you support is totally personal.
“ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide”
They provide people with tents, blankets, stove, survival kit type stuff. You can find out more at the web site
Please do support Shelterbox. It is my local charity, having begun as an initiative by Helston Rotary. Helston is a town in the far south-west of Cornwall and we are all very proud of what Shelterbox does. It gets to places extremely quickly and you know the money is not going in unnecessary overheads, but it needs a lot more publicity beyond Cornwall, given the demands being made on it.
ReplyDeleteI saw these guys out there within some of the first TV reports we've received here in the UK and they seem very well worth supporting. They're aiming to reach some of the northerly cut off areas I think and their boxes will be most useful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link Helen.
