Look North viewers raise money for flood victims
BBC Look North presenter Harry Gration has handed over a cheque for £18,668 to the Chairman of the South Yorkshire Community Foundation and High Sheriff of South Yorkshire, Mr Jonathan Hunt. The cash was raised by viewers of the BBC One regional tv news programme who bought a DVD of Look North footage of the summer floods. Harry said: "We were amazed and delighted that the sale of the DVD has raised so much money to help flood victims and are extremely grateful to our viewers for being so generous." Mr Hunt also expressed his gratitude to the people of Yorkshire: "I am very grateful for the generosity of the viewers who bought the DVD and sent this sum to the BBC in support of the flood victims, and to the BBC for crafting such a brilliant record of the events of June. "Their help is most graciously welcomed, and will go towards relieving the difficulties that will continue for some time for those affected by the floods." AB2 |
