About the appeal

SCVS and local partners are encouraging donations to an emergency appeal for those who have been affected by the terrible gas explosion that took place in Morriston, Swansea on 13th March and its impact on the Morriston community.

Many people in the surrounding properties are unable to return to their homes, and find themselves with substantial damage to their homes and belongings. The money raised through this appeal will be used initially to provide emergency financial support to people immediately impacted by the explosion who may need to replace urgent items that have been damaged or destroyed, and longer term to support additional costs associated with the event (eg, trauma support).

How will people apply for support?

We know there are local agencies and organisations already providing direct support to people in the affected community, so we will be contacting those groups with information on how to refer people for support through the fund in the next couple of days.

SCVS is the umbrella support charity for voluntary and community groups in Swansea, and a registered charity itself. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator.

100% of the money donated to this appeal will be distributed to those in need – SCVS are not receiving any financial renumeration from this appeal, and the Localgiving platform does not take any commission from funds donated.

Please give what you can.
