ELREC Cycles for Nepal

Donation protected
Help us to raise funds for Nepal Earthquake victims. 

On the 25th of April 2015 a powerful earthquake killed more than 8500 people and destroyed many homes, roads and historical monuments. Nepal has declared a state of emergency. The earthquake has left hundreds of thousands of families homeless and without access to drinking water, and reliable and safe food supply. It is heart-breaking to think what these people are going through after losing their loved ones, their homes and their villages. These are very difficult times for Nepal. Nepal is one of the least developed countries in the world with a very high level of poverty. The people of Nepal need all the help they can get to overcome this terrible disaster. 

To support Nepali victims, come join us on Sunday the 9th of August to raise funds for Nepal. We will cycle along the water of Leith from the city centre to Balerno and cycle back to the centre.

Please let us know if you will be joining the cycle ride or whether you will be at the meeting and starting point to give your support. Many people have already indicated their intention to cycle the route.

Wear appropriate clothing. Bring your own bicycle, water and snacks. If you don’t have a bike, let us know, we might be able to help.

When: Sunday 9th of August from 2pm to 5pm
Where: Meeting and starting at the junction of Saunder street and Deanhaugh street: EH3 6TU. See route Map.

Our goal is to raise £5,000

Please donate what you can whether you are able to cycle with us or not. No donation is too small. ALL THE FUNDS RAISED WILL BE DONATED to Nepal Scotland Association (http://www.nepalscotlandassociation.org/). ELREC will provide you with feedback on the use of the funds in Nepal. The funds will help to re-build homes for the victims in villages such of Nuwakot and Gorkha where there is acute poverty. 

Thank you in advance for all of your generous donations to help the people of Nepal. 

For further information, please contact ELREC by email: [email redacted].uk  or by phone on 0131 [phone redacted].
