This is a fundraiser page that has been set up for anyone who wants to donate that cant make the gigs that have been organized.
A friend of mine spent a week working in refugee camps in Calais and
Dunkirk, helping to distribute aid and work with a few different
organisations, it occurred to him that people like himself who work in
the festival and event industry were well positioned to be of
practical use in what is essentially a humanitarian disaster happening
right on our doorstep. The skills he and many of his colleagues use in
our day to day jobs are often directly translatable to the situation
on the ground in the camps i.e. dealing with large groups of people in
bad weather and mud, arranging sanitation, clean water, accommodation,
large scale food preparation and distribution, transport and
logistics, building wooden structures with teams of volunteers etc. He
along with many other friends and crews from the event industry have
had similar ideas after visiting the camps and working together they
are pooling our knowledge, resources and contacts to try and find
solutions to many of the issues that people are facing in the camps of
western France and hopefully further afield in Greece and beyond too.
The governments of Britain and France are doing shamefully little to
provide these people with even basic human rights, so we feel as
fellow human beings we cannot stand by and let this happen without
trying to help in any way we can.
He is currently organising a large workshop in central Bristol
that has been given use of by a festival organisation, and there are
several other linked groups working in London and elsewhere on similar projects.
They also have close connections to a community kitchen that
has been set up in "The Jungle" in Calais that is providing
free food for large numbers of vulnerable people. All run on a
volunteer basis using donated ingredients or food bought with donation money.
If you want to donate, anything you give will certainly help. Call it the start of a drip in the pool that your crating. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You.
