Story
We are a group of volunteers for Help Refugees based in South London. We will be gathering urgently needed donations and taking them to the Help Refugees warehouse to support refugees in Northern France.
There are currently over 1000 refugees living in deplorable conditions and sleeping rough in the woods of Northern France. Every week teams of volunteers distribute necessary items such as sleeping bags, clothes, shoes and food but often run out of the most urgently needed donations. As the winter grows even colder, it is paramount that we gather and transport as much as possible. The situation is desperate, any help or support you can give is much appreciated and will go a long way in helping keep someone warm.
We are raising funds to cover transportation costs and to buy items that are less likely to be donated. This will include van hire (if necessary), petrol, ferry crossing and items such as foil blankets and food. Any remaining funds will be donated to Help Refugees to support their projects. We are aiming to leave from South London to Calais on the first weekend of December.

6 years agoThankyou so much everyone for your incredible donations! Thanks to these the South London team were able to take a full van of urgently needed items including hats, gloves, clothes, foil blankets, and sleeping bags to Calais on Sunday 10th December. Whilst there we also spent a few hours volunteering with Refugee Community Kitchen, who are currently the only source of hot food for refugees and serve 2500 meals a day! It is brutal and cold for refugees in Northern France, thank you for your support in helping someone to be warm and safe.
