Katrina Pike, manager of Hays Travel Bexleyheath, offered her store as a collection point for clothes and other essential goods after a local Turkish restaurant called for donations on behalf of the Turkey and Syria appeal.
Over the three days that followed, the store was inundated with donations, ranging from clothes and toys to medical supplies and blankets. "The response from our regular customers and the local area was fantastic," Pike told TTG. "We had customers coming in for three days straight. We had cases and cases worth of clothes and other aid."
