DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal

Shotley School is raising money for Disasters Emergency Committee

Sponsored Run · 24 February 2023

Devastating earthquakes have killed thousands of people in Turkey and Syria.

Story

A series of devastating earthquakes have hit southern Turkey and north-west Syria killing at least 11,000 people and injuring many more.People have been left without shelter in freezing winter conditions. Access to clean water will likely be a challenge, bringing the risk of cholera and other diseases.DEC charities and their local partners are among the first responders, working with locally-led relief efforts to ensure people have food and clean water. People need help now. 

We wanted to do something positive to fundraise and have an event that would raise more than the normal non-uniform day. So we're asking for sponsorship for children from all year groups to run laps around the school field. The more laps, the harder the challenge so we appreciate every penny of sponsorship.
