Sponsored Swimarathon · 23 April 2023

ActionAid and DEC member agencies are working on the ground with our partners in the regions to provide immediate and urgent support to those affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

Story

Some Aberdour children suggested we have our own sponsored Swimarathon to help the victims of the recent earthquake. So, we have decided to Aber-do-it!

On Sunday 23rd April, teams will be swimming in relay for 55 minutes, hoping to clock up as many laps of our school pool as possible.

If you would prefer to make a donation (rather than sponsoring per lap) we would appreciate that just as much.

We are fundraising to support the DEC Turkey and Syria Earthquake Appeal.

Over 40,000 people have died so far in Turkey and Syria, and many more have been injured and displaced.

Buildings have collapsed and the numbers are expected to rise as the search for survivors continues in both countries.

Please give generously to support their response on the ground to the immediate aftermath of this disaster by providing emergency support in the way of shelter, warm clothing and food to everyone who has lost their homes and are out on the streets.

- £10 could provide blankets for two people to keep them warm

- £50 could provide emergency food for two families for 10 days

- £100 could provide emergency shelter for four families

Thank you in advance.
