THE Rotary Club of Farnham will hold a charity collection in aid of victims of Hurricane Matthew in Farnham town centre this Saturday (October 22).

All proceeds from the collection, to be held outside The Bush Hotel, will go towards sending a Shelterbox containing emergency supplies to those worst affected by the natural disaster on the Caribbean island of Haiti.

Examples of the products used by Shelterbox, the charity originally founded by Rotarians, will be on display at the collection point.

It comes after members of the club agreed last week to fund a £590 Shelterbox on the proviso that the funds can be raised through public donation.

The Rotary Club of Farnham Weyside also held a collection for hurricane victims in Lion and Lamb Yard last weekend, raising around £1,000 including Gift Aid.
