Collection of clothing, tents, sleeping bags, blankets etc for Calais

Are you planning to clear out some clothes, blankets etc. during the summer? Charlbury Refugee Action Group (CRAG) would be grateful to receive clothing, blankets, tents etc. that you no longer need, to send to refugees in northern France and those who are now sheltering in Britain. We also seek donations of new underwear and basic hygiene items, like soap and deodorants.

CRAG sends a collection of donated items about twice a year to the charity Care4Calais, where clothing and warm blankets, sleeping bags, tents etc. are always desperately needed.

There is also a great need for items that help with personal hygiene, which is always a challenge for people on the move, like those supported in Calais and those who have arrived in this country and need basic support. Your donations will help desperate people fleeing persecution, danger and misery in their home countries, and provide them with some warmth, shelter and basic personal dignity.

If you can give anything from the list of needed items (on our website at https://www.charlburyrefugee.org.uk/collections/) please bring it to White Hart, Market St, Charlbury OX7 3PH by by 5 September 2024.

Thanks to your generosity, Charlbury has a reputation now for supporting these needy people from around the world. We know that anything you can give will be received with gratitude and great appreciation.
