ON behalf of Oxfam and the Disasters Emergency Committee, I would like to thank the people of Blackburn.

For they raised a magnificent £1,186 for the devastated country of Mozambique in the Blackburn shop alone!

The money has been used to help provide emergency family supply kits and providing clean water to more than 50,000 people.
