Emergency aid for victims of the floods in Libya
Bishops’ Appeal is grateful to the individuals and parishes who have responded so generously to our appeal for emergency aid for the victims of the floods in Libya, which devastated so many homes and families in September.
So far, Bishops’ Appeal has been able to designate over €17,000 (equivalent to £14,800) to be channelled through Christian Aid to those working on the ground in the region.
The appeal is still open if there are others who would like to send a donation to help with the huge task of rebuilding and repairing what was destroyed by the floods. Donations can be made online, by cheque, through a bank lodgement or in local parishes – and details about how to give can be found at https://bishopsappeal.ireland.anglican.org/give
