Corporate support

Aid – We are in constant need of various types of aid and we are always keen to establish new relationships with companies and corporations that are willing to donate goods for use by people who really need our help. Do you have access to any surpluses of these items in any bulk (from half a pallet upwards)?

Examples of aid that is always required are:

  • General clothing
  • Waterproof clothing
  • Underwear
  • Footwear
  • Bedding
  • Toiletries
  • Pushchairs
  • Tents
  • Dry food (with reasonable ‘use by’ dates)

If you can help, please contact us.

Warehousing – We have a constant challenge with warehouse space required to store aid and ensure it is available to ship out on convoys at short notice. We really need additional space ideally where the current owners/tenants could receive goods on our behalf. All areas across the UK would be considered but our current highest need is outside the M25 and the London low emissions zone - ideally within 20 miles of Ingatestone in Essex.   Alternatively, assistance with funding for additional warehouse space would really help. Please note that an immediate 80% reduction in commercial rates is available for companies if the warehouse space is used by charity. 

If you can help with warehouse space or funding for additional space, please contact us.

Financial – Specific project funding is always needed for both our on-going and new projects.  Funding is also required to purchase food and underwear on an on-going basis. A major challenge is funding for the continuing and significant transportation cost to move aid across the continent to people who need help. Can your business help with financial support?  If so, please contact us. 

Sponsor a truck - Depending on the destination it can cost between £2500 and £3000 to get one of the smaller trucks to the Greek refugee camps.  Why not consider sponsoring a truck?  We can use your company name as the truck call sign and of course use the website and newsletter updates to let people know the valuable support you are providing.
