Friends,

One of our own has been directly impacted due to the devastating wildfires that have swept across Los Angeles - causing huge damage and destruction to property and belongings. Amelia and her family evacuated to safety, and like thousands of others in the state now look ahead to find safe and secure long-term housing and a path back to normality. This disaster will impact Amelia, her family and her community for months and years to come - as they look to rebuild everything around them, from houses, infrastructure, schools, hospitals and shops. Life has been turned upside down.

Some footage to show you all the devastation:

As colleagues, we find ourselves impacted directly and indirectly - others evacuated to safety too or witnessing the events unfold. I would like to support and help, bringing whatever possible to make a difficult situation in any way better. Whether it be big or small - I'm certain it will make a difference.

The funds we raise will go directly to Amelia and her family, to support throughout this challenging time.

Your support and help is hugely appreciated,

Thank you,

JP.
