We are six students based in York (GB).
Our aim is to provide help to the people in the 'Jungle' in Calais.
Refugees have been arriving in Calais and making makeshift camps since the Sangatte refugee camp was closed in 2002. Recently the population of the camps has grown.
Estimates place the population of the 'Jungle' at up to 5,000 people, including men, women and children. The majority of people in Calais are fleeing violence, from countries such as Eritrea, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Afghanistan.
Conditions in the camps are poor, without proper sanitation or shelter. People in the camps are dependant on charities, volunteers and donations for the basics.
Our goal is to make a journey from York to Calais with some supplies for the people. All money donated will be used to fund our trip and buy supplies to donate to the people in the Jungle. See the list below for possible supplies we will be purchasing. If you want your money to go towards specific items, let us know and we will do what we can.
We will be leaving on the 26th-27th of September.

Thank you so much for all the support we have received so far.
We have been overwhelmed with donations and have actually exceeded
the amount Fundrazr will allow us to raise in one campaign, being
over £2000! The campaign was blocked after reaching this amount, and
people that wished to donate to the cause were unfortunately not
able to.
We have now created a secondary campaign to offer our
continued support to refugees in Calais. We hope that those who were
unable to donate previously are now able to continue with their much
appreciated contribution.
