May we once again appeal to the people of the Andover area to help support our Shelterbox Appeal.

You have been so generous in the past with over £70,000 being donated over the last 6 years. Is it possible to seek your assistance yet again for those in need elsewhere in the world? We are only too aware of pressures on family budgets at this time but can you spare some support for those less fortunate?

Many people in Turkey, Central America, East Africa, Pakistan and Thailand are at this moment receiving aid from Shelterbox in the form of tents, cooking and water purification equipment, sleeping blankets, mosquito nets and many other useful items for those who have lost everything.

The Shelterbox stocks have to be replenished constantly to cope with the increasing demands placed upon the charity by the many disasters worldwide which seem to be occurring ever more frequently. This is where we in Rotary with your assistance can help others and we can guarantee that the aid will reach those most in need via the Shelterbox Response Teams and local Rotarians actually on the ground in the affected areas.

The club has a demonstration box available and we are happy to come and talk to your club, school, church or organisation about the work of Shelterbox. Just contact John Stewart on (01264) 323153.

Please give generously.

Your donation, large or small, would be much appreciated please Donate Securely On-Line Now or send a cheque to:
