On the Saturday following the earthquake, the Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper organised a collection outside the store. On display were the contents of a Rotary Shelter Box which provides a dry shelter in the form of a large tent, warm bedding, light & heat, clean water, cooking aids and tools sufficient for ten people.
The total raised was £1,100 and this, together with a small additional donation from Abingdon Vesper’s own charity account, was enough to buy three Shelter Boxes which are already on their way to Pakistan, courtesy of Virgin Atlantic.
