NGO Watch: Pakistan quake puts aid agencies in the limelight
The earthquake in Pakistan cast a shadow over last month’s NGO Watch.
It also unveiled a cookery book in conjunction with the Fairtrade Foundation. Elton John, Jamie Oliver and others contributed to A Fair Feast.
The Red Cross focused on the difficulty of reaching victims in Kashmir. It appealed for £25m for medical care for those injured by the tremors, and said the quake was becoming one of its toughest-ever relief operations.
Save the Children returned to the top ten on the back of quake coverage.
Cancer Research moved up to third with its appeal for a 'pink fundraising party', which included proposed sponsored walks across the UK. Meanwhile, Age Concern spoke out about pensions, the 'terror' of trick-or-treating and the turning back of the clocks.
