Alf Dubs arrived in Britain on a train from Prague in 1938 when he was just six years old. He was one of the 10,000 children rescued by the Kindertransport in the two years before the outbreak of World War II. This was a mass rescue effort driven by local communities, families, faith institutions and individuals who worked together to bring children to safety. Now a member of the House of Lords and life-long advocate for refugees, Lord Alf Dubs is leading efforts to help a new generation of unaccompanied child refugees in Europe. The Alf Dubs Children’s Fund is an appeal set up by Lord Dubs with the support of Safe Passage, which works to open safe and legal routes to protection for unaccompanied child refugees then supports their first steps to rebuilding their lives in the UK.  The fund seeks to carry forward the legacy of the Kindertransport for a new generation of child refugees today.

80 years on, child refugees still need safe passage. The support of community groups, Refugee Welcome groups and individuals makes our work possible, and any money raised really will help us to bring more children to safety.
