Kind-hearted readers donate £4,000 for survivors of Typhoon Haiyan
THE Echo’s Philippines appeal has now broken the £4,000 mark.

The newspaper has joined forces with the Disasters Emergency Committee to help those suffering Typhoon Haiyan.
The new £4,000 figure is on top of donations being made by phone, text and online.
To donate send or deliver a cheque made payable to DEC Philippines Typhoon Appeal to the Daily Echo Offices at Richmond Hill, Bournemouth, BH2 6HH or the Dolphin Centre, Poole, BH15 1SZ.
