A STREET collection in Witney will raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Irma.

The proceeds of the collection on Thursday will be used to purchase ShelterBoxes, which contain a tent and survival equipment which can hour a family of up to 10 people for more than six months.

Led by Witney Rotary Club, the collection will raise funds for people living in the devastated Caribbean and other disasters.

Currently, the RAF has flown 2,000 of the boxes to Panama to be immediately dispatched to those most in need.
