Organised by the Rotary Club of Senlac, through Rotarian Stuart Earl, and supported by the Rotary Club of Battle, the event also attracted backing from many non-members and the cash raised is enough to complete two shelter boxes.

The charity was launched 10 years ago by Helston-Lizard Rotarian Tom Henderson, a former Royal Navy search and rescue diver from Cornwall.

It has since become a major Rotary International global project.

For the second time this year, Mr Azad, proprietor of the Shiplu Restaurant, generously backed the Rotarians’ efforts for ShelterBox.

A spokesman said: “We are grateful and appreciative of his support”.
