Story
There are still hundreds of adults and children living in Northern France, abandoned by the system, their welfare utterly neglected by both the French and British governments.
To get across how dire this situation is, there are children too frightened to erect tents, some even being admitted to hospital with acute hypothermia from sleeping on the cold, wet ground in the undergrowth of the outer city woodland. Until further action is put in place to amend the situation and secure their futures, support is desperately needed from us to provide the things that we take for granted; our basic human rights: food, clothing and shelter.
After two successful trips in the last year delivering goods and volunteering onsite at the camps/warehouses, we are planning another trip to return to Calais on the 26th of March.
During the trip, we will deliver donations such as clothing, blankets and sleeping bags, as well as using the funds raised on this page to purchase items in dire need when we arrive (this changes on a day to day basis - we will consult with the amazingly committed volunteers upon arrival to ensure we utilise the funds effectively).
Any amount, big or small, makes a huge difference so if you can spare a few pounds, we will ensure your money is used to make someone's life just that little bit more comfortable.
Thank you for reading this and please do share as much as you can to help us raise as much money as physically possible.
Genna, Andrea, Mo & Olivia.
