THE tsunami disaster has seen Lancaster and Morecambe people - in common with others up and down the country - digging deep to raise as much money as possible for the South East Asia appeal.

Pictures of the Boxing Day tidal wave continue to shock - and now the fund raising across the area has really kicked into gear.

Lancaster Rotarians are doing their bit for the tsunami disaster and are looking to raise more cash for the appeal.

Members of Rotary Clubs throughout the county have been assisting - and more than £54,000 has been raised in just 10 days.

Rotary has kept in contact with the providers of Aquaboxes and Shelter boxes, which provide emergency facilities and clean water for the disaster-torn area.

District governor Ron Bailey says: "A big thank you is deserved for the tremendous response to the disaster."

Meanwhile, the Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir decided to hand over £250 of their limited funds to the appeal.
