NHS Enfield Talking Therapies (IAPT) are walking the length of Green Lanes (5 miles) to raise money for the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal, following the devastating earthquakes that hit southern Turkey (Türkiye) and north-west Syria, killing over 50,000 people and injuring many more. 100% of our donations will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee Turkey-Syria earthquake appeal.

The first deadly earthquake struck while people were inside their homes, asleep in their beds, with no warning signs. Up to 18 million people reside in the affected areas and more than 54,000 buildings, including hospitals and schools, have been destroyed or damaged. People have been left without shelter in freezing winter conditions. DEC charities and their local partners are among the first responders providing urgent aid. Following the search and rescue operation, immediate priorities are access to healthcare, shelter for those who have lost their homes, heating in safe spaces, blankets, warm clothes, ensuring people have food and clean water.

Here's what your donations could do:

£10 could provide blankets to keep two people warm

£25 could provide emergency food for a family for ten days

£50 could provide emergency shelter for two families

Please consider donating and sharing this page with your friends and families.
