Please help me raise ₱100,000 for the Philippine Red Cross to support those hit by Typhoon Uwan and Typhoon Tino.
🗓️ Fundraiser – 1st December | 19:00 Cosy Club Bournemouth, BH1 1LG
Hi everyone,
My name is Felix Apalisok, and I’m an Investment Manager based in Bournemouth.
The Philippines was once my home, and though I’m proud to be living in the UK, my heart is heavy seeing my fellow countrymen and women face such loss.
Organising a fundraiser of this scale by myself is new to me, yet the scale of Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) and Typhoon Tino’s (Kalmaegi) destruction made me want to contribute in any way I can.
I need your help.
My goal is to raise ₱100,000 (~£1,500) to donate directly to the Philippine Red Cross, helping them assist those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
Just days ago, Typhoon Uwan forced over 1.3 million people to flee their homes and displaced nearly 500,000. Entire communities have lost their homes, safety, and sense of normal life.

The Philippine Red Cross is on the ground delivering hot meals, hygiene kits, blankets, and mental health support. They run evacuation centres, deploy emergency vehicles, and provide psychosocial care to families in crisis.

Here’s how your donation can help:
💷 £10 (~₱700) = Hot meals for 5 people
💷 £20 (~₱1,400) = Hygiene kits for 3 people
💷 £30 (~₱2,100) = Full support for a family (meals, hygiene, blankets, and care)
🎯 If we reach our goal of ₱100,000, we can provide the equivalent of approximately:
🍛 700 Hot meals
🧼 200 Hygiene kits
🏠 Full support for 48 families
