We have been doing all we can to continue sorting aid during this difficult time. We have a very high volume of aid at our hub and are unable to safely operate with the volunteer numbers we need to process it. We therefore can only accept Tents, blankets, sleeping bags, new items of underwear and socks, walking boots, warm coats and toiletries. We cannot accept any other items at this time We thank you for your continued support.

The colouring book is based on Refugee Week 2020’s theme of “Imagine”. It was created through a partnership between Swindon City of Sanctuary and Bekah Grace Illustration (a freelance children’s illustrator based in Swindon).
The purpose of this book is educational in the broadest sense, that adults and children alike will know about Refugee Week and possibly look into it further, and to encourage young people to use their creativity and imagination.

Refugee Week is from June 15th. The international theme this year is ‘Imagine.’ In response, BRWR (Bromsgrove and Redditch Welcome Refugees) is launching a poetry pamphlet, ‘DOORS: Writing for Refugees’ on World Refugee Day June 20th.
It is a selection of poems which local people and others have written about the refugee situation, and has been compiled as a fund raiser for BRWR.
Contributors are local Worcestershire poets, inspired and moved by the refugee experiences, with contributions from two Syrian poets who find themselves as refugees here. A door can be to the past, the present or the future. We can imagine the past or imagine the future we would like. One of our local refugees has designed the front cover of the poetry pamphlet. He is making us a launch video, which will also promote his MazBroadcast business. People may know Maz from all the voluntary work he has done for Bromsgrove Community in collecting and delivering prescriptions for housebound people during Lockdown.
WORDS, the local literary group, have given us a donation towards the printing costs of ‘DOORS: Writing for Refugees.’ It is for sale at £5 a copy for BRWR funds which support our local refugees. All BRWR workers are unpaid volunteers To order copies email : info@brwr.uk
Redditch Mosque Trust’s “Welfare” project is to serve humanity, to help those less fortunate or in need, no matter who.
Any member of the public, who requires help of any sort including food, medicine, transport, please text the Management Team on 07312 000070 or email redditchmasjid@outlook.com.
On behalf of the Syrian families in Redditch and Bromsgrove, grateful thanks to the Mosque volunteers, who shopped and delivered food parcels to their doors in the spirit of Ramadan, paid for by donations from the Muslim community – a kind and generous act.
