FILLED A TRANSIT VAN!!

Update posted by Aleksandra Rutkowska Parkes

The physical donations filled a whole transit van!!!!!! They were collected today and we will be driving them over to Calais on Wednesday. What an absolutely incredible amount of generosity and commitment from everyone, whether you donated physical items or monetary, every little bit will go to where it is most needed! Thank you.

Once the travel costs are covered (crossing and fuel), the money will be used to send the children and women's clothing to Greece and if there is anything left, it will be split between Help Refugees and The World Wide Tribe who are doing amazing work in Paris.

Many thanks to Angus from Herts for Refugees for providing the van and driving over.

  • 550x 500ml water bottles
  • 300kg of dried chickpeas
