ShelterBox responds instantly to earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict by delivering boxes of aid. Each box supplies an extended family of up to 10 people with a tent, and lifesaving equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless.
The contents are tailored depending on the nature and location of the disaster, with great care taken sourcing every item to ensure it is robust enough to be of lasting value. The cost of a box is £490, including delivery direct to those who need it. Each box bears its own unique number so as a donor you can track your box all the way to the recipient country via the website.
Since its inception in 2000, ShelterBox has firmly established itself at the forefront of international disaster relief, providing emergency shelter for the people who need it most on every continent.

The British Heart Foundation mission is to play
a leading role in the fight against disease of the heart
and circulation, so that it is no longer a major cause
of disability and premature death. Within a generation
we aim to reduce cardiovascular disease in the UK
to one of the lowest levels in Europe.
Within a decade we aim to halve the number of people under 75 who die from cardiovascular disease, make sure that at least two thirds of people under 75 survive a heart attack and reverse the increase in childhood obesity. To help us get there we have set up a number of objectives across the areas of, Research, Information, Policy, Care and Equality.
