Nov 2015 Clothes collection for Refugees gathered in Calais
Thu, Nov 12th 2015 at 10:00 am - 10:00 am
there are hundreds of refugees with very few possessions and ill equipped for the winter weather - we donated what we could
David Ellis has volunteered to act as our central collection point for any clothing that can be gathered at short notice. He will then transport the supplies to a central depot for distribution in Calais to the Refugees in need.
In the end 20 bags of good quality apparel was donated - Thank You Everyone for the quick response !
