People and organisations in Nottingham have been busy raising money to help flood victims in Pakistan. Donations to Muslim Hands, based in Hyson Green, have added up to £1.9 million over the last month. Through the donations, the charity has managed to distribute food packs and safe water to thousands of families. Mayah Riaz, who owns the Carrington-based fundraising organisation Deen Events, raised over £24,000 at a function in St Ann's, and The Pakistan Community Centre on Woodborough Road has raised £10,000 through collections.
