The Horsforth Refugee Collection ( on behalf of Samara's Aid) are wanting to send at least 50 Smiley Bags to Iraq and beyond . These bags have basic toiletries in, new underwear, socks, a warm hat and a bit of fun ( some cards and colouring things).

You can help us by donating towards the cost of products ( a whole bag costs about £12) and shipping ( it costs us £2 per bag to ship these and some of this money will help pay for these costs)

We can also accept NEW items for the bags if you are local to us( see https://www.facebook.com/horsforthrefugeecollection/?notif_t=page_fan&notif_id=1501915734103744)

Put a smile on a child's face - we may not be able to change their situation massively but we can provide a bit of kindness to help them to know that someone, somewhere cares.

This is one of two appeals we will be running, the other is for dignity bags for females ( again a bag containing basic supplies and a little extra)
