Rough Sleeping

Two catastrophic earthquakes have struck southern Türkiye. Entire buildings have collapsed, homes have been destroyed, and vital infrastructure has been damaged. Thousands are dead and many refugees and displaced families are in urgent need.

Story

Please help us raise money. The Dorter students did a sleep outdoors event on a stormy and rainy first day of Spring night on card board, older blankets and a tarp and built their own shelters. Proceeds will go to our chosen charity the UNHCR UK.

On Monday 6th February, a deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck southern Türkiye, near Gaziantep close to the border with Syria, affecting millions of people including refugees and internally displaced families.

The earthquake has killed several thousand people across Türkiye and Syria, with thousands more injured.

Right now, UNHCR teams are on the ground in both Türkiye and Syria, providing lifesaving aid, including clothing and tents, to survivors wherever possible.

Your donations can make a difference:

£40.40 could help provide a winter coat to 5 people affected by the earthquake in Türkiye

£81 could help provide one month of cash assistance to a family of four to help them buy what they need the most

£242 could help provide emergency items, including winter jackets and clothing to a family in Syria

Please give today. Your support will help save lives.
