This is a historical campaign record. Appeals, targets, deadlines and participation details below belong to the original campaign and are not current requests. The source title and date are retained as recorded; the body refers to flooding, so the event and date should not be inferred from the title alone.
Following the worst floods in Pakistans history impacting the lives of 14 million people, Luton mosques and community members undertook a massive fundraising campaign raising more than £250,000 in donations through a range of innovative activities including bucket collections at Sainsburys, auctions and charity dinners.
Luton Council of Mosques also liaised closely with London-Luton airport, Luton Sixth form college and Luton Borough Council to coordinate a community-wide food & blanket drive. Items were dropped off at community centres and then flown over to Pakistan for distribution to more than 10,000 people in need.
