BRWR thanks everyone who contributed to the vanload of clean warm clothes, sleeping bags and other items, which were sent down to Calaid’s new warehouse facility at Feltham last month. We can still accept items like sleeping bags and men’s waterproof clothing and trainers , which are needed in the Calais camps, but suggest that other good clothing be kept at home until our refugee families arrive next year. Contact secretary@bromsgrovewelcomesrefugees.uk to give.
If you wish to donate to Calais a very sensible way is to buy something from Calaid’s wish list on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/1P2RJO27Q6N2T.
The list includes much needed items such as wind up lanterns and radios and water carriers, which Amazon will deliver. Cash donations may also be made to Calaid via their website.
