Sunday October 4th and Monday 5th – 9am-5pm
After an incredible weekend at the Hive in September, CalAid is back to gather more urgently needed donations to support the people living in refugee camps in Calais.
What Is CalAid?
We are a group of volunteers collecting urgently needed donations for those living in the Calais refugee camps. We believe that no person should be without access to basic human rights like shelter and warmth, and by collecting donations we can work to improve these conditions.
The situation in Calais is part of a wider migration crisis in Europe – caused largely by the displacement of people from war-torn countries such as Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan and Eritrea. In addition to offering support and assistance, we hope to change the perception of this crisis from one of hostility and fear to one of concern and compassion.
