2021 updates

The challenges of 2020 continue into 2021, only this year we also had Brexit to contend with. 

Paperwork was the order of the day, with Greece using Brexit to tie NGO's up in knots.  But we spent a lot of time working our way through it and by the end of the year there was a very dim light at the end of the Mont Blanc tunnel! 

In addition:

  • France – Calais – One trip following the Reading Festival Salvage which allowed us to deliver many tents and sleeping bags
  • Croatia – post-earthquake £2100 purchase of heaters
  • UK – Napier Barracks – Deliveries mainly of blankets
  • UK – Colchester hotel – Delivery mainly of hoodies and shoes
  • Europe – The Walk – Little Amal – Logistics support with volunteer drivers
  • Greece – A container of Crocs were taken via Christian Refugee Relief
  • A donation of required items to TEECH for Moldova 
  • €1,000 donation to support lawyers in Samos
  • £2,000 donation to Aryana Aid in Afghanistan
  • Ongoing Facilitation of Pasta purchases for Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK)
  • Charity shop premises move for another refugee focused charity

So it was far from quiet.  We hoped we would get back to normal in 2022, oh how wrong we were.....

    A Volunteer: Will make a real difference to someone's life, maybe even save it. Will find out how far they can push themselves to help others, and be rewarded with immeasurable real life experiences. Will forever be changed simply because they refused to sit by and do nothing while people were suffering. Will learn to work in a team, be resilient and achieve things they never thought possible. Could be you? ​Get in touch now, you are desperately needed!
