TURKEY-SYRIA EARTHQUAKE CHARITY WORKSHOP

Service Description

Devastating earthquakes have hit Turkey and Syria, killing thousands of people and reducing buildings to rubble. People need urgent aid to survive. People have been left without shelter in freezing winter conditions, with humanitarian needs expected to grow in the coming days. 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 in Turkey (now known as Türkiye) and Syria. Immediate priorities are search and rescue, medical treatment for the injured, shelter for those who have lost their homes, heaters for spaces and winter kits with blankets, and warm clothes, and ensuring people have food and clean water. All donations for attendance at this workshop will be made to DEC. The British Government is matching all donations with an equal donation. The workshop is for all abilities. Although a regular practice will make it less effortful! Places are limited and you are therefore asked to register your attendance by donating £1 now via this website. All other donations will be accepted on the day and paid as one lump sum to DEC.
