Wanted - Shelter-building tools and materials

Update posted by Frances Vigay

As the situation on the ground in the jungle at Calais is regularly changing, we need to be flexible and adapt to current needs and requirements. Right now, the jungle is in desperate need of volunteers to help with distributing donated items. They also need shelters urgently, now that Winter is coming. There is also a big clean-up of the camp which is being organised from 26th Sept, so waste and litter picking tools/equipment are also useful and we would be very happy to take them. We are still taking all the very helpful items that have been donated to us and have arranged a drop-off with a local organisation in Calais, who will distribute them in the most beneficial way. However for this trip we are now not adding anything else that is not on the list in the picture above. Shelter building tools and materials are particularly helpful. Financial donations will help us to get items there and also help to buy food and building materials locally. We will also work wherever needed whilst we're there. On this trip, there are six of us taking a van and two cars. Thanks for your support!
