Ludlow Rotary Club is amazed and very grateful for everyones generosity during our street collections and church appeals for Shelter Boxes for the victims of Hurricane Irma in the Eatern Caribbean. A cheque for an initial £3,500.00 has been sent and once all the donations are in a further cheque will be sent.
During the weekend of the Food and Drink Festival, the Ludlow Rotary Club started its campaign for the victims of Hurricane Irma. Monies raised were used to provide Shelter Boxes, providing the essentials of temporary shelter and life saving equipment including cooking utensils, blankets, tools and water purification kit and many more essential items to start their rebuilding process.
The club ran a Pimms stall and also made collections in the town centre. Over the first two days over two thousand pound had been raised. The Club also co-ordinated the involvement of the churches via CTAL (Churches Together across Ludlow) which arranged collections over two consecutive weekends.
The major retail outlets also supported the appeal and collections took place at the Ludlow Food Centre, TESCO and ALDI.
Our sincere thanks to all those who gave so generously and those involved in the collections, particularly the members of CTAL. It is another great example of how working together as a community the people of Ludlow can make a real difference.
