It is raining again...
We are compiling all the help that has been offered via Ripple Effect, and all the specific requests for help from flood victims, and these will be appearing on webpages shortly ( www.biz-news.org.uk/news-floodinfo.htm ).
We are also working with West Cumbria Business Cluster ( www.westcumbriabusinesscluster.org.uk ) as many of their members are also keen to provide help.
So if you can offer any support to businesses or individuals affected by the flood, please can you let me know, as soon as possible:
Name
Business
Contact Tel, Mob and E-mail
Type of help offered
If this help is free/discounted/full rate
(offers to date include: cars, IT equipment, desk to work at and/or have Internet access from, hands-on clean up support, counselling, office furniture, legal help)
ALSO: if you know anyone affected by the flood that requires support, please ask them to contact me with:
Name
Contact Tel, Mob and e-mail (or details of where a message can be left in the case of those that are having communication and power problems)
Type of help required
All details provided will all be published on the webpages...
The flood victims are often relying on word of mouth, or personal contacts, as they do not have their usual communication routes open. So please pass this info on to anyone you think may require help.
I hope this is a small way that the local business community can support those that have their lives and businesses to rebuild in Cumbria.
