Dear All Sai Ram

We have now closed the collection of further items, if you still have some items then please could you get these to the Region 4 hub in Leicester. Rohitbhai will be able to coordinate any delivery. So a big thank you to you all for participating in this first ever collection for the UK.  

The next step or phase is to gather a list of names from the region who could volunteer to help  in a few weeks with the clear up. Kiranbhai and the team are in discussion at the moment with the authorities on what would help the most. Could you please announce in the centre/group for volunteers who are willing to help. When the details come in we will ask again if they can actually make it on the dates but the first thought is the willingness to help. I would appreciate it if you could let Rohitbhai know within the next week or so.  

Have a good rest of the week.
