I AGREE wholeheartedly with Tony Pepper's comments (Letters, Wednesday, January 26).

It is early days yet to be able to tell whether the tsunami will have a serious effect on donations received at home.

However, the local community continues to support our work with bereaved children very generously, and for this we are very grateful.

There is no doubt that the tsunami has raised the profile of bereavement internationally.

Noah's Ark will have a team in CrownGate on Saturday, February 26 when more information about our grief support service will be available and members of the team will be on hand to answer any questions.

We also welcome approaches from anyone who is interested in supporting our work.

MRS SUE SMITH,
