Story

We are walking from Southwold to Aldeburgh (18 Miles) on the Suffolk Coastal Path for the urgent Earthquake Appeal on the 12th March 2023, we have chosen the Catholic CAFOD Charity to direct the much needed funds to help Turkey and Syria in this time of great need and urgency. Chris and the Team.

I am joining CAFOD in fundraising for the people of Syria and Turkey. Please give generously.

In the early hours of Monday 6 February 2023, a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Turkeys border with northern Syria.


The scale of the devastation remains unclear. But we know that the earthquake has already killed more than 20,000 people, injured hundreds more and destroyed thousands of homes and buildings.


After the earthquake, over 70 aftershocks occurred with the largest of a 6.6 magnitude. Millions of people across Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Israel felt the earthquake.


To get support to our partners already responding, CAFOD has launched an appeal for the earthquake.

Thank you for donating to this Appeal.
