FLOOD victims in urgent need are asked to move quickly if they want help from an emergency fund.

Lions International zone chairman Graham Taylor, of Stourport, whose success in bidding for aid from the charity's world disaster fund was reported in the Shuttle/Times & News last week, said claims had to be made within 30 days but no-one had yet come forward.

The zone can draw from a £6,900 kitty to help Worcestershire people who have lost personal belongings, such as clothes, bedding, pots, pans and food in the floods.

Further information can be obtained by calling 01299 826256.
