Letter to Editor – ShelterBox

Good morning,

A letter to editor for your consideration. Images attached for your use.

Dear Editor,

This year marks 10 years since the start of the war in Syria, with many thousands of children and young people displaced for another winter having been forced to flee their homes because of the conflict.

At ShelterBox we provide emergency shelter and other essential items to families after disaster and have had an ongoing presence in Syrian displacement camps since 2013 – delivering aid to more than 400,000 people across the region. With 60% of adults across Wales considering donating to charity this Christmas, instead of buying gifts, they could make a real difference to families in Syria facing near freezing temperatures over the winter months. ShelterBox has launched a Christmas appeal – www.shelterbox.org/shelter-for-christmas/ – should your readers wish to find out more about how to give the gift of warmth and shelter this winter to children – many who have only known their country at war.

• £24 could buy a thermal baby bundle
• £52 could provide a collection of winter clothes
• £95 could give a winter-proof home kit
• £119 could fund a home repair kit
