Story
We are joining forces with a group down south to gather donations and send them to the refugees of Calais. We want to work together to help because everyone has the right to basic living conditions and quality of life. We want to send all the essential supplies we can gather to those in need along with messages of hope and support.

9 years agoTo all who have pledged, we can't thank every one of you enough, your incredible generosity has been truly humbling. You have helped us raise 28 x our original target on this page alone, & the whole project has grown phenomenally quickly with it. In seven weeks we have gone from a living room and one van packed for Calais to a large scale project with an established committee of GOs & hundreds of other incredible volunteers. We are entirely not-for-profit, every penny raised will go directly to bringing vital aid & support to refugees across Europe. We currently have teams of volunteers in Calais, Croatia & Serbia distributing just some of the donations we've received & buying water & food on site as needed. We intend to continue expanding the project & our fundraising efforts, & we will soon be renaming as a NFP organisation, but our short & long-term objectives will remain the same. Everyone deserves the right to live; we are all people; all equal. Thank you all so much. CE
