There are approximately 1000 asylum seekers placed in Home Office accommodation across South Yorkshire. During their time here they only receive £8 a week and cannot afford essential items such as clothes, shoes and toiletries, and often remain in the clothes they have arrived in.
Care4Calais volunteers support these asylum seekers by distributing clothes and toiletries, and ensure they have the support they need. However we are urgently in need of more clothes and funds to be able to continue this work. Please donate whatever you can so that we can get them the items they need. Here is what your money can buy:
- £20- a warm coat
- £10- a pair of trainers
- £2- underwear or socks
Every donation is greatly appreciated. If you also have second hand clothing you would like to donate, or have any questions, please contact Sheffield@care4calais.org
