The people of Hounslow have clubbed together to help the islanders of Vanuatu, which was devastated by a tropical storm.
Cyclone Pam ravaged the South Pacific island chain to the east of Australia on March 13, killing at least 11 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless or without access to clean drinking water.
Subhash Mahajan, who is the chairman of the Friends of Beaversfield Park, in Hounslow West, was so touched by their plight he set about collecting money to support ongoing relief efforts.
He thanked everyone who contributed to the cause, helping him and his friends Bal Krishnan Chada and Ajit Singh Phull raise £1,100 which they sent to the charity Save the Children on Thursday (April 16).
The friends group previously collected more than £3,000 for victims of the catastrophic flood in the Indian state of Uttarakhand in 2013.
