The terrible news of death and destruction in Haiti have touched us all. There is now a dire need for food, clothes, shelter and essential medicines.

The TUC and its affiliated unions have organised the Concert for Haiti on Wednesday 3 February at Congress House. The concert is part of the wider appeal to raise awareness about the situation in Haiti and funds for the relief effort through the TUC Aid - Haiti Earthquake Appeal.

I hope that working together we will be able to really make a serious contribution to assist our brothers and sisters in Haiti at this urgent hour.

Thank you for your support.
Brendan Barber, General Secretary TUC
