The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileWith hostile rhetoric used against those seeking asylum in the media and even in Parliament, there has never been a greater need to show those seeking sanctuary in the UK that they are welcome, wanted and valued. Please help us to support refugees by enabling us to buy toiletries, new underwear, and shoes in the correct sizes. We rely on donations of clothes and other necessities from our supporters, but for reasons of dignity or lack of suitable donated items, there are always some items we need to buy.
Every single individual donation makes a difference - please donate what you can afford today.
Or, why not help us with a sponsored event?
