The Cardiff Mela team would like to thank the local community in Cardiff and the surrounding areas, who helped us in raising money for DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) flood relief in Pakistan in 2010. With a busy schedule on the day already, we would also like to thank our volunteers for their fundraising activities which raised nearly £1,800 for the charity. This was further matched 100% by Arup through their matching scheme. One of our directors was able to enrol in scheme as he worked for Arup at the time. As gift aid meant a further tax benifit was added to it making it more than £5000 to DEC in total.
