As winter approaches there has been an increase to nearly 9,000 refugees in the camps in Sangatte near Calais including over 800 unaccompanied children. The volunteer warehouses are almost empty.
The two of us will be driving a van from Derby to Sangatte in November to deliver items that have been requested and we would be very grateful for your donations.
We have been in touch with Calaid, a non-profit charity consisting of a group of volunteers collecting urgently needed donations for those living in the Calais refugee camps. Like us, they believe that no person should be without access to basic human rights like shelter and warmth and by collecting donations they can work to improve these conditions.
We have a list of items that can be donated or alternatively if you would like to make a cash donation, you can do that through this Justgiving page.
Thank you very much in advance for all of your support.
Nick and Louise Whittaker
