What's
going
on
across
Essex?
 | We're
always
doing

including
sponsorship
or
sponsored
events
(such
as
the
Southampton
Team's
Isle
of
Wight
Cycling
Challenge),
Coin
Collections
(the
old
European
coins
as
well
as
others),
tandem
parachute
jumping,
and
so
on.

| How
can
you
help
us |
If
you're
craving
for
the
chance
to
'put
something
back'
and
at
the
same
time
be
adventurous,
we're
constantly
growing
the
team,
and
looking
for
new
'crews'.
If
you
have
a
particular
skill,
or
simply
wish
to
'do
your
bit'
to
help
us
in
the
UK,
we
want
to
build
up
our
Essex
support
network,
and
need
your
help
with
all
sorts
of
essential
activities
such
as
fundraising,
requesting
goods,
collecting
donated
goods,
storing
and
warehousing,
sorting,
Truck
hire,
Truck
driving,
loading,
and
so
on!
If
you
would
like
to
run
an
event
for
us,
or
help
us
with
corporate
sponsorship, we'd
love
to
hear
from
you!
We
always
need
financial
support,
no
matter
how
small.

Wish List
See what's on our wish list, and remember, all the goods you
donate are delivered directly into the hands of those who need
it most. |
How
you can help
No one involved in Hope and
Aid Direct takes a salary, or charges for their time and many of our
team do not claim back any expenses that they incur. Our volunteers give
up their spare time to raise the funds needed to hire, fill and take
trucks on the convoys and use up some of their precious annual leave to
travel to the Balkans to distribute the aid. |
|
Online donations
What makes it all
worthwhile? Just take a look in the picture galleries, at the faces of
some of the people who have been helped over the years.
Do you think you have what
it takes? If so, please click on
"how
you can help"
to see what you can do.
Cards for Convoys
Hope and Aid Direct are
pleased to announce its very own range of charity cards is now available
for sale.

Rotary Box
Scheme
Our
efforts are helped by the Rotary Clubs Emergency Box Scheme
When a disaster strikes,
people need necessities
like food, clothes, and a dry place to sleep. They need essential
supplies, basic tools and some of the many things it takes to start the
rebuilding of their lives.
Rotary International offers
this immediate aid requirement by providing their Emergency Boxes. These
Emergency Boxes are available for both hot and cold climates with the
contents lists specifically tailored by the Red Cross, each box
providing vital aid for adults and
children. Held in
Rotary warehouses, boxes filled with essential provisions are stored
ready for instant dispatch whenever required and provide immediate
relief for the victims. |
