Flood relief effort: Help if you can!

[Toby]

Hi guys,

As you all know, flooding has heavily affected many areas of the country, leaving many families with the huge task of sorting out their homes, land and possessions

Until further notice, the numbers below are free to call on O2:

The Met Office – 0870 900 0100
Floodline – 0345 988 1188 or 0845 988 1188

A company called Taskhub has also created a website that you can visit to get involved in helping the flood relief effort:

http://www.floodvolunteers.co.uk/

Here, you can offer your time, skills, resources, equipment and many other things. If you can, get involved guys. There are reportedly more storms to come, with flood warnings still active in Somerset, Surrey and Berkshire. West Wales is also expected to receive very high winds too, meaning that any relief offered by individuals is still greatly needed.

Get involved and pledge any support you can.

For more information, please visit the article this information was referenced from on the 'The Blue'

Thanks Damien,

Have you been affected at all by the bad weather?

I haven't personally but I know a lot of people who have 😞 and well done O2 making those numbers free at the moment

My in-laws live in one of the heavily affected areas, we went to check them out when things were bad and, boy, was it bad. The water in the street was at waist level. My thoughts are with those directly and indirectly affected.

Thanks for that Toby.  

There have been so many stories of people helping others around here, there has been great community spirit and, over the last couple of weeks, I have spoken to neighbours I never knew.

Thanks Toby,

The OH's cousin is still in a flooded area where the main road is still closed and also means a diversion to pick up the OH from her parent's. It's certainly taking it's time to subside.
