In order to support victims of the disaster, Walking With The Wounded, has donated all excess kit from their South Pole expedition in 2013 to a Nepalese appeal by fellow Norfolk based charity, Nepal In Need.<\/p>\n<p>Walking with The Wounded was set up to help former military soldiers to find employment.<\/p>\n<p>The kit was used by Prince Harry and three teams of wounded servicemen and women to trek to the geographic South Pole in November 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the developments, Edward Parker, co-founder and chief executive of Walking With The Wounded, said: &ldquo;What&rsquo;s happening in Nepal is devastating and I just hope the kit we have donated will help some of the many people suffering as a result of the earthquake on Saturday.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, more kit and equipment is needed to help those who are still suffering the impacts of the Nepalese disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Catherine Blaiklock, founder of the charity Nepal in Need, issued an urgent plea for people to donate tents.<\/p>\n<p>The tents will then be issued to the devastated region by trustees of the charity.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801801392-ADNFCR\"
