All Leisure group backs Just Help Haiti

All Leisure group has partnered with Just a Drop’s ‘Just Help Haiti’ campaign to appeal to the travel and tourism industry to raise funds that will supply clean safe water to Haiti following the recent disaster.

This one off fund raising exercise aims to raise £1 million for the people of Haiti, the amount required to ensure urgent water and sanitation needs and implement a long term water supply solution.

“This tragic disaster has left Haiti with enormous challenges to overcome and long after the headlines have gone the people of Haiti will still need our support” commented Roger Allard, Chairman of All Leisure group plc. By raising £1 million we hope to aid the urgent water shortage problems and, just as importantly, help with the vital ongoing support to ensure that the recovery process is sustained. We implore the industry to rally behind this campaign to help raise our first target of £250,000.”

Fiona Jeffery, Chairman and founder of Just a Drop added "It is great that the travel and tourism industry are collectively getting behind Just Help Haiti so whole heartedly and I’m extremely grateful for all the donations that have already been made through this partnership initiative. Where Just a Drop makes a real difference is in the work post the emergency relief effort as its field operatives will look to create sustainable water and sanitation solutions for communities encouraging them back to their homes, villages and schools so they are not locked in temporary refugee camps for too long."
