This year we couldn’t fail to see the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean, which on record is the strongest hurricane in history to form in June, in the Atlantic Ocean.

In response to this disaster The Bristol Reggae Orchestra will be hosting a fundraising event to help support with aid for those most affected,
We invite you to lend your help by attending this event on Tues 6th Aug @ The Mount Without, Upper Church Lane, St Michaels Hill, Bristol, BS2 8FN.

On July 1, Beryl made landfall on islands in the Caribeean, Carriacou, Petite Martinique & Greneda felt the full force as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, causing total devastation. Over 95% of all structures have been decimated. Ujima Radio spoke with John Ridley, reporter on Ujima Radio who has family on the islands and gave us the raw, harsh facts of what is really happening out there. Help is urgently needed. We will continue to keep you updated as one of Ujima’s reporters is on the way now to report back on what is really going on. With infrastracture almost non existant and little or no elecricity, family and friends were left unable to contact them. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and residents of the islands. But how can we help? We recommend using official sites and can signpost you to the following official organisations. Please do make sure to keep updated with what is needed.
