Many people ask how they can help if they cant physically travel out to work in the camps. I have a live gofundme site (follow the donate here link) , you can donate through this and all donated funds (minus gofundme charges) will be spent on the ground to help refugees.
The current campaign is The Birds of Hope Project and The Human Voice Project. Fundraiser below
July 2019 Birds of Hope and Human Voice Project
February 2019 – winter fundraiser
September 18 – Colloboration with Ruhi Loren – fundraiser for shoes and coats
There was a collection in Market Harborough for second hand coats and shoes, as well as a fundraiser. The fundraiser generated £565 which bought 50 brand new winter coats and 64 new pairs of walking boots
