ShelterBox Goes Live!

Within the last hour the all-new, Leap-designed ShelterBox website has gone live. One of the biggest elements of an ongoing 18 month re brand of the disaster relief charity and taking eight months alone, the new website is a cleaner design with the emphasis on recent successful deployments and making it easier for visitors to donate and volunteer their time.
ShelterBox package and deliver ten man survival kits, in their highly recognisable green boxes, to sites of humanitarian disaster all over the world. They also train volunteers to become part of their ShelterBox Relief Team with their gruelling nine-day training courses.
In August 2007 the Duchess of Cornwall became the charity’s President and Royal Patron following a visit with the Prince of Wales to Pakistan in 2006 where they saw the great work being done there by ShelterBox volunteers. Other patrons include Miss Joanna Lumley OBE and Lady Mary Holbarrow, Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall.
Last year ShelterBox announced their One Million in Africa project that hopes to deploy one million boxes on the continent.
ShelterBox relies entirely on donations from the public and are very proud that 92% of all donations goes directly to those in need. To donate now go to http://www.shelterbox.org/
