North Lanarkshire Council will make a £15,000 charitable donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) to assist with the catastrophic floods in Pakistan.
Following full agreement from elected members the donation to the DEC is to help fund its members charities’ UK-based activities whose resources are being put under considerable strain as they respond to the crisis affecting Pakistan.
The DEC brings together 15 leading UK aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently at times of crisis overseas.
