Tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured by the devastating earthquake that struck south west China on 12 May. Many more have lost their homes and the death toll continues to rise.

The epicentre of the 7.9 magnitude quake was Wenchuan County in Sichuan Province, with another seven provinces affected. Tremors were felt as far away as the capital Beijing.

A number of heavily populated areas have been badly hit. In the town of Beichuan, 80 per cent of buildings are reported to have collapsed, including several schools, burying children and teachers under piles of rubble. The nearby town of Mianzhu, which has a population of 60,000, was also seriously affected.

We ask all TOC members or visitors to please donate some money as a team effort to help the quake victims, familes and loved ones

Your help is really needed. £10 could purchase five jerry cans, £15 could buy purification tablets to help provide 40,000 litres of drinking water, £25 could buy 11 blankets, £105 could purchase 15 tarpaulins. So much more is needed.

Please help today.
