How You Can Help The Nepal Flood Disaster
Like many of you we have watched the recent floods in Nepal with horror.
Some of us have friends directly affected, others have work colleagues with their own stories to tell. In the face of such devastation it’s easy to feel helpless so here are a few ways we know you can help:
Doug Scott’s charity Community Action Nepal has been requested by the Nepali Government to help with short and long term recovery projects. You can donate here and add “Flood relief” to your donation to ensure your money is used expressly for the recent disaster.
