It's my birthday on Saturday 7th Feb and I'd love for you to join me in raising vital funds for CRIBS International, a charity that houses and supports refugee women and their newborn babies, keeping them off the streets of Athens. Their work has been close to my heart for many years, having volunteered with them in Greece and witnessing the dire situation faced by people fleeing war and conflict from places such as DRC, Sudan and Afghanistan. Founded by Sally from my home town of Oldham, the small team never stop and have a life changing impact on mothers and their families at their most vulnerable time ❤️

CRIBS has housed over 100 families and their work is nothing short of incredible. They provide essential advocacy during labour, assist with breastfeeding, and help navigate the complex asylum system. They house several families and support hundreds more through their free shop, ensuring that mothers and their babies are kept warm and safe.

Your contribution will directly support these families in need. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Together, we can reach our target of £250 and provide vital support to those who rely on CRIBS every day. Thank you so much for any support you can give.
