To be held on Broad Street Newtown.

Raising funds to buy Shelterboxes to send to help with the disaster.


  • Cyclone Idai has brought severe flooding in southern Africa, with torrential rains and strong winds of over 100mph.
  • Downpours have been affecting the region for weeks, causing severe floods since the beginning of March. This comes after a period of severe drought, making the conditions worse. 
  • Flooding has devastated land, livestock, homes and infrastructure, leaving vast areas uninhabitable and families homeless and vulnerable.
  • There are fears for further risks to families such as water-borne disease outbreaks. 
  • Roads and bridges are washed away, communications are down, floodwaters haven't yet receded leaving whole villages inaccessible.


NB Postponed due to severe weather on day of collection
