VITAL food and medical aid is now getting through to stricken communities (s)


by Duncan Smith


A S T R E E T collection will be held in Clitheroe on Saturday in aid of the Tsunami Earthquake


Appeal. Local Rotarians and Lions will be


in town throughout the day collect­ ing for victims of the natural disas­ ter, which has so far claimed more than 150,000 lives and left hundreds of thousands more injured, home­ less and hungry. Rotary spokesman Roland Hail­


wood said that in the first few days after the scale of the disaster became known, the club had man­ aged to send off £1,000 to buy “Aquaboxes” - special water treat­ ment packs that provide safe and clean drinking water for survivors, preventing further loss of life through disease. The club planned to send off another £1,000 donation


this week. “The generosity of local people so


far has been absolutely extraordi­ nary,” said Mr Hailwood. “I t is impossible to understand


the scale of suffering this disaster has caused, but people here in Rib- ble Valley have clearly been moved


Lions say thanks for generosity


MORE than 100 guests attending a New Year’s Eve celebration at the Inn at Whitewell spontaneous­ ly dug into their pockets and opened their wallets to raise £540 towards the tsunami appeal. Clitheroe Lions Club, which


made the collection, this week thanked everyone who gave so generously and in particular Charles Bowman and Rebecca Clarke, of the Inn at Whitewell, for all their help. Lions Club spokesman Ray­


mond Bennett said: “The sum col­ lected is being forwarded to the Lions International South Asia Tsunami Disaster 2004 Fund. “There are 73,000 Lions club


members in the hardest-hit regions of India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Indonesia, on the spot and coming to the aid of those in need.” • This Saturday, members of


the Glitheroe Lions Club will be joining the town’s other service clubs in carrying out a street col­ lection in Clitheroe in aid of the tsunami disaster appeal.

BUT for many, gazing in despair at what is left of llicir homes, there is no end in sight (s)


by it and are doing whatever they


can.” Donations can also be made to


the Rotary effort at several collec­ tion points in Clitheroe. These include Althams travel


agents and the Post House Hotel, both in King Street, Honeywell’s estate agents, in Castlegate, and Primrose Garage, in Whalley


Road. Mr Hailwood added that if peo­


ple put their name and address to their donation, i t could be increased by 28p in the pound through Gift Aid, a means of reclaiming tax on charitable dona­


tions. As the Clitheroe Advertiser and


Times went to press, the fund-rais­ ing total donated by the British public to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) joint agency appeal had topped £76m. with pledges still streaming in. You can make donations to the


appeal; • online at wwxv.dec.org.uk


• by phone on the 24 hour dona­


tion line - 0870 60 60 900 • by post to: DEC Tsunami


Earthquake Appeal, PO Box 999, London EC3A 3AA (Cheques


made payable: D EC Tsunami Earthquake Appeal). • at any high street bank or post


office. • Mobile users on the following


networks — 3, Orange, T-mobile, Virgin Mobile and Vodafone - can te x t “DONATE” to 83321 and £ 1 .5 0 will be donated to the appeal, with no further charges


applied. A few examples of what your


money will buy are; • £15 will buy plastic sheeting


for a family, a water container and purification tablets • £35 will provide a family with


enough food for a week • £100 will buy enough zinc


sheeting and timber to help rebuild


two family homes. The DEC is an umbrella organi­


sation of Britain’s 12 leading aid agencies which launches and co­ ordinates Britain’s national appeal in response to major disasters over­


seas. Members of the DEC are:


Action Aid, British Red Cross, CAFOD, Care International UK, Christian Aid, Concern, Help the Aged, Merlin, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund, World Vision.


STAFF at Clitheroe’s Skipton Building Society have joined forces with Y Care International and launched an appeal to raise money for the Tsunami victims. Y Care International is the over­

seas relief and development agency of the YMCA movement and works with people across the developing world. The organisation urgently


requires funds to ensure that the needs of millions affected by the tidal wave disaster are immediately provided for.


manager at Clitheroe’s Skipton Building Society, said: “We have all ^en the shocking images of the dev­ astation in Southern Asia and I’m sure many will want to make a con­ tribution to this appeal to try and help in any way they can. “No donation is too small as


every penny will help Y Care act quickly to prevent as many further lives being lost as possible.” Anyone wishing to donate can do


so by dropping into the branch at 7 Market Place, Clitheroe.


Holiday pair’s pledge


A COUPLE from West Bradford, who were due to fly out to Thailand in early February, have organised a sponsored walk to raise funds for tsunami victims. Mr and Mrs Stewart and Claire


George have decided to embark on an 84-mile sponsored walk next month. The couple, both 24, will set out from


Newcastle-upon-Tyne on February 13th, the day they would have arrived in the beach resort of Phuket, Thailand. They will start their journey from the


North Sea to the Irish Sea, across the width of England, along the path of Hadrian’s Wall. The couple have set up a v/ebsite for anyone wanting to sponsor them: www.justgiving.com/tsunamiap- pealwalk or telephone them on 01200 425498.

Revellers’ £700 WHILE revellers at Clitheroe Golf Club were enjoying their New Year’s Eve party, thoughts were spared for those less fortunate who are suffer­ ing after the Indian Ocean


tsunami disaster. A raffle was held during the


New Year’s Eve banquet and the magnificent sum of £700 was raised by all those who attended.


A member of the club and a


past lady captain Mrs Jean Cole’s daughter, was lucky enough to escape with

turned out for the six-mile ramble to work off the Christmas pud. As usual, the popular event was marked by a great family atmosphere and some inspired entries in the hat competition. Organiser Ivan Hargreaves com­


mented: “Everyone got very muddy due to the recent wet weather, but it stayed dry for most of the six miles and a good time was had by all.” A collection at the end of the walk


raised £90 for the Friends of Whalley School.
