I WOULD like to thank the good people of Knutsford who donated to the recent Knutsford Rotary Club collection in Booths Supermarket.

Your donations have provided almost £950 to support worthwhile causes throughout the year, like the Shelterbox which we displayed at Booths, or the Rotary-led international programme to eliminate polio.

Shelterboxes are despatched to anywhere in the world, within hours of major human disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis.

Each box contains a tent, blankets, cooking facilities, dried food, a water purification system, enough to keep a family of 10 warm, sheltered and nourished for the vital days before the major aid programmes can be put in place.

Your donations will allow us to support these and similar activities to help those in need anywhere in the world.

I would also like to thank the manager and staff at Booths for giving us the opportunity to make this collection in their supermarket and all the Rotarians who gave up their time to help.

Tony Booth President Rotary Club of Knutsford
