Adult Nursing student drives Jamaica Hurricane Relief appeal - donate what you can by Fri 28 Nov

Adult Nursing student Cherrelle Sutherland has launched a relief appeal to support communities in Jamaica devastated by Hurricane Melissa. Please consider donating essential items or funds to help those affected. Physical donations welcomed until Friday 28 November.

On 28 October, a category five hurricane made landfall in Jamaica.

Hurricane Melissa, the most powerful storm of 2025, is the strongest to have hit Jamaica in modern history. 

Across Jamaica, much of the population remains without electricity, and reports suggest that around 30,000 people are displaced.

The people of Jamaica need your help.

Please join me in supporting the people of Jamaica who have been affected by this devastating storm.

Your gift of everyday essentials or a small donation can make a big difference to the adults and children of Jamaica. 

• Gloves (and protective gear)
• Face masks
• Clean clothes (all sizes)
• Toys and books (for children)
• Toiletries and hygiene products
• Non-perishable food and water
• Blankest and socks

You can also make monetary donations on the JustGiving page 

• Via the QR code (please see poster)
• WP104, Sister Dora Building, Walsall Campus
• MC234, Millennium City Building, City Campus

Please donate all physical items by Friday 28 November

Every item donated and every pound raised helps to rebuild hope. 

Thank you for your kindness and solidarity.
