The British Red Cross has launched an emergency appeal to help victims of the floods
that affected Boscastle, Crackington Haven and Otterham last week.
The appeal was
launched after a request for support from the North Cornwall District Council. So
far over £30,000 has been raised.

The Lions club of Exeter West has donated £1,000 and the Lions Clubs International
Foundation in the USA has also made a donation. Local fundraising events have already
been held: Saltash Handicapped and Disabled Organisation, for example, raised £216
with a coffee morning.
