Shane and I are heading to Calais from the 28th-30th December. We feel we should do something around Christmas to help the refugees who are sleeping rough and won't be able to enjoy Christmas in the way the rest of us can, so we're volunteering with the charity Help Refugees over this time.

It's a little daunting, and rather expensive, but we're determined to do it. I've had a good few people ask how they can help, and to be honest, we're struggling with the cost of transport so close to Christmas. We're hoping to raise a little to help fund the trip and any extra we get we'll use to buy sleeping bags and clothes etc for the refugees.

We'll go regardless, but any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,
Becky.
