South Asian Fund Earthquake Relief
Sheffield City Council has launched an appeal fund in conjunction with South Yorkshire’s Muslim community to raise £100,000 to help rebuild the region worst affected by the South Asian Earthquake.
Many people in Sheffield have relatives in the Azad Kashmir capital of Muzaffarabad and the money raised by the appeal will provide aid to rebuild the city’s hospitals and schools.
People wanting to donate should make their cheques payable to ‘South Asian Fund Earthquake Relief’ (SAFER). The cheques can be posted to:
South Asian Fund Earthquake Relief (SAFER),
Sheffield Town Hall,
Surrey Street,
Sheffield,
S1 2HH.
Cheques and cash donations can also be handed in at the First Stop Reception in the Town Hall. Arrangements are also being made for Members of the City Council to meet with representatives of the Muslim community to see what practical assistance can be given.
A book of condolences will also be set up in the Town Hall for members of the public to sign. This will be available very shortly.
