More than a £1,000 has been raised for charity.
Buckingham Rotary Club set up a stall and did brisk business raising money from sympathetic members of the public.
Since then, with Club members’ personal contributions and a donation from the Club charity, they have raised and made a total donation of £1,000.
President Howard Mordue said, ‘It was a good morning’s work collecting for the people who have tragically lost their homes, families and livelihoods. Rotary is on the ground in Turkey and Syria, working with partners such as Shelterbox and Disaster Aid. We are pleased to have collected nearly £300 in the morning, which Rotary made up to £1,000 from its own funds and members’ donations.
Half has gone to Shelterbox and half to Disaster Aid UK.
