THE Nepal earthquake has claimed more than 8,000 lives and injured 16,000 young and elderly people.

There is a big Nepalese community in Swindon and some of the people in the community are collecting money for those who have suffered. We must contribute to this cause and give whatever we can.

You can donate through the Gurkha community, Save the Children, UNICEF or any other humanitarian organisation you may prefer.
