----------
MRS continues to be one of the only organisations in Dunkirk
regularly distributing essential tents and sleeping bags to displaced people sleeping rough. Anyone caught without one of these vital items would instead be forced to sleep in the woods without any protection or privacy, often in weather that can reach as low as -10° Celsius.
Now we are entering the bitter winter period, it is absolutely vital that we can continue to provide tents and sleeping bags to those who are forced to sleep rough in the woods. Police interventions and clearances have only continued to increase, putting huge pressure on our stock of essential supplies.
Please share this fundraiser in order for it to reach more people.
Thank you for your continued support.
