PEOPLE wanting to donate money to help those in need following Cyclone Idai, which has killed at least 300 people in Mozambique, along with a further 100 in neighbouring Zimbabwe, can make payments at Skipton Building Society.
All donations made to the building society, which has a branch in Skipton High Street, will go directly to The Disasters Emergency Committee’s (DEC) Cyclone Idai Appeal.
Cyclone Idai is regarded as one of the worst tropical cyclones on record to affect Africa and the Southern Hemisphere as a whole. The storm has caused catastrophic damage in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
Ivan Le Roux, of Skipton Building Society, said: “More than 1,000 people have been affected by this devastating cyclone and at Skipton Building Society we pride ourselves in being able to act quickly to support those in need. This account provides the facility for customers to show their support to ensure we can help them to rebuild their communities and prevent the associated after effects of events such as this.”
Anyone wishing to donate to the fund can also do so over the phone, by calling the Skipton Direct team on 0345 850 1722, or by visiting the website: skipton.co.uk/appeal
