HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Clothing is most sought after, the most needed include: Fila or Burberry baseball caps, Kappa tracksuit tops (his & hers), shell suits (female) white sport socks, Rockport boots and any other items usually sold in
Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same. Required foodstuffs include microwave meals, tins of baked beans, ice cream and cans of colt 45 or special brew. 22p will buy a biro for filling in
compensation forms, ?2.00 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of nine, ?5.00 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.
However, please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of posh housing is very unfair on the neighbouring populations of Douglas, Fintry and St Mary's.
