Nearly £3,000 was raised for the Water Survival Box humanitarian aid project at the Rotary Club of Lyme Regis Soup and Ploughman’s Lunch, held today at the Alexandra Hotel and Restaurant.
Rotarians, along with friends and family, turned out in force to support the event, which proved to be both well-attended and highly successful. Funds raised will support Water Survival Box, a Rotary-backed initiative that provides rapid-response aid when disaster strikes.
In the aftermath of earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters, access to clean water is often one of the most urgent needs. Water Survival Box responds quickly by delivering essential survival kits containing water filtration units, hygiene supplies and basic tools to help communities begin rebuilding their lives.
Director of Operations Tony Quinn gave an insightful presentation, outlining the vital work of Water Survival Box and the life-saving impact the project continues to have around the world.
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Lyme Regis, Rob Harris presented Kathryn Haskins with a bouquet of flowers, praising her and the Alexandra Hotel staff for their unwavering support, generosity and contribution to the success of the event.
