Rotary Club appeal sends emergency help for victims of Cyclone Idai

The Rotary Club of Forres collected money at Tesco in Forres on Saturday (30 March) to raise funds to send ‘ShelterBoxes’ to African countries hit by Cyclone Idai.

A ShelterBox is a self-contained unit containing emergency survival aid, including a tent, kitchen utensils, pots and pans, hand tools, water purification tablets, dried food and bedding.

The Forres cub has raised more than £58,000 in its shelterbox appeal since 2002.
