Turkey and Syria earthquake appeal

Find out how to support the response efforts

A series of devastating earthquakes have hit southern Turkey and north-west Syria.

Our thoughts are with Turkey and Syria and those in Southampton who have loved ones in the area. 

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) are providing urgent help. This includes search and rescue, medical treatment for the injured, shelter for those who have lost their homes, heating in safe spaces, blankets, warm clothes, and ensuring people have food and clean water.

If you would like to help you can donate to the appeal on the DEC website. 

You can also get in touch with Rays of Hope volunteers, who have people on the ground in Turkey and have already:

• Collected just above 20k from local Mosques
• Collected 45k from wider communities in Southampton

Rays of Hope are accepting monetary donations only.
