SUPPORTING THE EARTHQUAKE APPEAL

Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal

Following the two devastating earthquakes in Turkey & Syria, Leicester's Turkish community of 3,500 are doing everything possible to support and raise funds for the humanitarian crisis which is thought to be affecting 26 million people.

A big thank you so far for all the donations and support from the entire Leicester community!

DUE TO CAPACITY AND LOGISTICAL ISSUES ON THE GROUND WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY FURTHER DONATIONS OF GOODS.  FINANCIAL DONATIONS ONLY PLEASE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

We are collecting financial donations for the earthquake appeal via the donate button, bank transfer or cash at the address below.  These funds will be sent on to the Turkish Red Crescent Charity (Kizilay) AND AFAD who are working on the ground to provide emergency aid to the earthquake region.

We welcome anyone who would like to get involved in our cultural, social, educational and charitable activities - drop us an email or pop in and see us!

If you would like to volunteer to help with our fundraising efforts please get in touch by email.

Leicester Turkish Education Centre is a community organisation providing cultural, social and educational activities for the local Turkish community and wider public.  We encourage inter-faith & inter-cultural connections and are proud to be part of Leicester's wonderfully diverse community.
