SDS believes in solidarity not charity. Every single person in detention should be treated as a human being with dignity, not as a problem. With that in mind, we’re doing a Winter fundraiser to buy care packages/warm clothing for detainees. We aim to meet the specific needs of those in detention and provide them with items that they want and need.

Despite being one of the biggest abolitionist visiting groups in the UK, we operate on a tiny budget and are fundraising so that we can provide for as many detainees as possible.

Winter is a hard time for everyone, especially if you are being kept in a detention centre without basic human needs being met, in constant fear of being removed from the UK. If you have any money to spare, please give as generously as you can.

If you don’t have money but have some items- men’s clothing etc. that might be helpful, or if you’d like to get involved in any other way,please message us.

We plan on giving out items as soon as it is safe to do so.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from SDS!
