Japan fundraiser seeks support in Leamington

Caroline Pover has been living in Tokyo for the past 15 years and set up several businesses, but as soon as the disaster occurred in March, she got on a plane to the UK so she could collect much-needed items and money to take back to Japan to help communities rebuild their lives.

People can listen to Ms Pover, who has committed to dedicating six months to providing aid, talk about her experiences and find out how they can help, as she tours the area this week.

On Tuesday she will be at Kingsway Primary School in Leamington from 10.20am to 11am and at Sainsbury’s in Tachbrook Drive, Leamington, from 11.30am to 12.30pm.

On Wednesday she will be at Clinton Primary School in Kenilworth from 1pm to 2.30pm and at St Mark’s church in Leamington from 6.20pm to 7.30pm.

On Thursdau Ms Pover heads to St Patrick’s Primary School in Leamington from 9am to 9.30am and St Paul’s Primary School in Leamington from 10.30am to 11am, while on Friday she will be at Priors Field Primary School in Kenilworth from 10.15am to 11am and Moreton Morrell Primary School from 1.30pm to 2pm.

The 39-year-old will then be at the Two Castles Run from Warwick to Kenilworth on Sunday, soon after which she plans to move on to the Gloustershire area before touring the country.

Anyone who would like to find out more or book a slot with Ms Pover can contact her by calling 07527 575993 or email [email protected]
