Care4Calais - Clothing for asylum seekers and refugees
Care4Calais is a volunteer run charity delivering essential aid and support to refugees living in the UK, Northern France and Belgium. We believe in a fair and tolerant British society and advocate for a welcoming and inclusive attitude towards refugees. Operating year round, our focus is to provide warm clothing, bedding, food and medical assistance to people in desperate need. We also provide social support and interaction, including language lessons and sports and music workshops.

Care4Calais work to ensure that refugees have appropriate clothes to live in the UK, giving them back their dignity and allowing them to engage with services in the community without feeling ashamed by their appearance.

โ“ What is the Task?

We'll be:

  • Recording donations

Nothing will be wasted. Clothes that aren't suitable for refugees will be donated to other partner charities.
