OVER the New Year weekend members of the Rotary Club of Birkenhead, along with volunteers from the Wirral Community Narrowboat Trust held a collection for the victims of flooding in Lancashire at the Sainsbury's stores in Prenton and Upton.

Thanks to the wonderful generosity of the Wirral public, we managed to raise £2,000, every penny of which will be spent supporting victims of last months floods.

I would also wish to give a big thank you to the managers and staff at the stores for helping us at such short notice.

Hugh Lloyd, President, Rotary Club of Birkenhead.
