Donations for Care4Calais
Donation protected
In November, I am driving over to Calais for a couple days to volunteer with Care4Calais.
There are still over 700 refugees sleeping rough in and around Calais, over 200 in Dunkirk, 400 in Brussels and nearly 2,000 in Paris. They are sleeping rough in the worst conditions and are not allowed to even have tents for shelter from the elements. Since the closure of the ‘Jungle’ camp in October 2016, the authorities are determined to prevent another permanent camp from reforming.
Care4Calais core work is distributing aid weekly to sites, but the refugees also hugely appreciate the social interaction and moral support from volunteers whether over a cup of tea from our van, or in a game of football or cricket.
I am hoping to bring with me as many donations possible. Below is a list of the most wanted items, but if you do not have any of these, and still want to help, please do donate and I will buy as much a possible.

Any donations will be gratefully received! Thanks very much.
