Tesco supports emergency appeal.
A message from Philip Clarke – Emergency appeal following Typhoon Haiyan | ||
|
We have all seen the heartbreaking destruction that Typhoon Haiyan has left in its wake. One of the most powerful storms on record to reach land, the images captured by news channels across the world show thousands of homes destroyed and even more lives lost. Last Friday, we released £25,000 from our emergency charity trust fund to support the Red Cross’s work in the Philippines. But with every day that passes, the true extent of the devastation becomes clearer. More than nine million people have now been affected and Philippine President Benigno Aquino has declared a state of national calamity to speed up relief efforts. Without food, clean drinking water or shelter, people are struggling to survive. We’ve now doubled our donation to £50,000, and have opened our Extras, Superstores and Express stores here in the UK to Red Cross volunteers this weekend, who will be collecting all over the country. Tesco Bank has also been working hard to change the ATM screens at our stores, so that our customers can make donations to the emergency appeal when they withdraw cash. It is at times like this that our emergency response partnership with the Red Cross becomes so important. We’ve worked with them for over a decade, and our help allows the Red Cross to support people all over the world – from Cockermouth to Kenya. The partnership means that when disasters strike – wherever that may be in the world – we can be there to help. Philip |
