Story

Charlotte and I were both moved to tears after seeing some of the images of the disaster in Turkey and wanted to think of a way to make an impact as quickly as possible...

I am scared of heights so I have booked a skydive as a challenge to help raise vital funding for the families, children and people impacted in Turkey and Syria.

More than 20,000 people are now known to have died after Monday's earthquakes in southern Turkey and northern Syria.

Without shelter, water, fuel or electricity, the World Health Organization fears many survivors could yet lose their lives. It says there is a danger there will be a secondary disaster which may cause harm to more people than the initial quake. 

Rescuers in Turkey and Syria are continuing their painstaking work but hopes are fading for the many still trapped under the rubble.

British charities have launched an appeal to raise funds for people affected.

The British Red Cross plays a vital role in emergency response and are one of our clients at Clive Henry Group, so we know that they are a safe pair of hands to help with the situation out there.

They are local, they are global, and they have been doing this for 150 years!

Their network of incredible staff and volunteers means they are uniquely placed to reach people in fearful, uncertain times. But it is the generosity of BRC supporters that enables their work to happen quickly and efficiently.

They will be relying on your support to give them capacity to send a team to help out in Turkey and Syria after the devastation that’s come to pass over the last few days.
