Hi there, like many of us, we have been moved by the plight of refugees moving across Europe, never more so than by the sight of the young boy, Alyan, washed up dead on a Turkish beach. The images of a refugee camp in Calais, right on our doorstep, and stories of people dying trying to break in to our country, seems so utterly unfair and unbelievable in the 21st Century. We joined a team of volunteers from Bristol taking aid over to a small camp near Dunkirk back in October. It was shocking, truly desperate people in a desperate situation, yet many of them somehow retaining their dignity and their hope for a better future. Most of them are young men, but there are also many children, a few alone, others part of whole families feeling their homes. The group from Bristol have formalised in to a committed group of volunteers that have taken on the responsibility of co-ordination all support to the Dunkirk camp. See there website here www.aidboxconvoy.co.uk with details of the specific things that are required. It is very important to only give what is required as ABC are on the ground every day and understand the changing needs. Unnecessary donations are a waste of much needed space. We are heading back in early January with a van full of aid from the Crewe area. If you want to donate an Aid box, or items on the list on the website do get in touch. We have set up this page in case our friends and contacts in and around Crewe would prefer to send cash to us directly, to help fill the van from Crewe. We will self fund our fuel and accommodation so every penny you give will be spent on things needed directly by refugees.
