Morocco Earthquake Appeal

We will be holding a Bucket Appeal in church on Sunday for Morocco following the earthquake on 8th September 2023.  In the meantime, you can donate to The British Red Cross on line following this link here:- https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/morocco-earthquake-appeal

How is the Red Cross helping people affected by the earthquake?

Local Moroccan Red Crescent teams were on the ground immediately responding to the earthquake. They are supporting authorities with:

• search and rescue
• provision of water, food, shelter and hygiene kits
• evacuation
• first aid
• transportation of injured people to hospital
• psychosocial support

As the situation develops, our teams will continue to help with the severe and immediate needs of those affected, as well as planning the longer-term support that will be needed in the weeks and months to come.
