Catholics in the South West have helped raise more than £35,000 to provide aid to people Syria affected by the war.
Groups, schools and individuals have all contributed to the CAFOD (Catholic Agencies for Overseas Development) Syria Crisis Appeal.
The majority has been raised in the last four weeks and St Mary's Church in Falmouth raised more than £800 through parish collections.
Across the UK, more than £1 million has been raised to go to the Middle East to help alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people.
Ben Davis, from the church, said: "Everyone knows what is happening in Syria. This is why we arranged a special collection which brought about an exceptional response.
"We have contributed a substantial amount knowing that the work of CAFOD changes lives."
More than 5.5 million people are in urgent need of humanitarian aid according to the charity.
