Refugee Action – Colchester

4 days ago

One of the biggest evictions in years took place yesterday in Calais.
This means that people are put on to buses, driven away, and left to return to Calais later when it feels safe to. Peoples tents, belongings and food had all been seized despite the best efforts of organisations to protect and retrieve these items. The implications that these distressing evictions have on peoples mental health is severe.
Thanks goodness for the humanitarian organisations on the ground who will daily find the displaced people and be able to provide not only tents, sleeping bags, clothing and food, but also compassion. It’s vital for them to know that someone cares.
We were thrilled to support Care4Calais in this yesterday by taking over a full van load of useful aid to their warehouse in France, then loading up again all their unusable items and bring them back to RefugEase, a great organisation in Tonbridge who both sell some items locally for much needed funds, as well as send some off to woman and children in Syria.
It’s wonderful to see such positive action in the face of such adversity, and to be able to offer such wide reaching support, as well as helping our wonderful community in Colchester. … See MoreSee Less
