The impact of the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has been truly shocking and our thoughts are with all those who have been affected.
As a result of this disaster, the Trustees of the Belron Ronnie Lubner Charitable Foundation have agreed to support the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal with a£100,000 donation, which was made this week.
