Latest News » Non-Uniform Day in support of the Haiti Earthquake Appeal
Tuesday 26 January 2010
I know that many of you were deeply affected by the tragedy in Haiti. At these times we question what we can do and whether our small part will make a difference. The reality is it does.
On Tuesday we will have a non-uniform day with a difference. We will be collecting £1 (and a minimum donation of £1 from staff). However, non-uniform is expected to be using the colours of the Haitian flag. All proceeds will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee, the umbrella organisation for 13 charities. The 13 member agencies are:
- ActionAid
- British Red Cross
- CAFOD
- Care International UK
- Christian Aid
- Concern Worldwide
- Help the Aged
- Islamic Relief
- Merlin
- Oxfam
- Save the Children
- Tearfund
- World Vision
The civil flag of Haiti is a horizontal blue stripe above a red one. It is notable that the nation’s motto is ‘Unity Makes Strength’; we will do our small part to demonstrate this in practice.
