SEE Facebook event for 8 December Winter Appeal in solidarity with refugees

The death rate in the Mediterranean has now soared to an all time high of one in five and our government has played a leading role in the criminalisation of NGO rescue ships that now are unable to operate.

For the last three years, Care4Calais and Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) have been working closely together to help refugees in Northern France. On December the 8th 2018, please join these two organisations again to bring humanitarian relief to the hundreds of refugees currently living in illegal settlements and inhuman conditions in Calais and Dunkirk.

Remember, supporting refugees is much more than just giving basic aid to people who desperately need it. Your presence is important. Governments would prefer that the refugee crisis in Europe remains largely invisible, allowing them to get away with ignoring the thousands of people on our doorstep who have a legal right to seek asylum in the UK (among them many children, some as young as 8).

It is estimated that almost 56 million refugees have arrived in Europe since the crisis began in 2015, of which 100,000 are vulnerable children. The Home Office came under attack in November 2016 when it refused to give children caught up in the Calais camp demolition sanctuary in the UK. Today, the UK continues to turn its back on these children and has failed to honour it’s commitment to resettle the places already committed to.

By joining us and helping to share their stories, you are also giving refugees a voice.

Show your support for refugees this winter, come along on the 8th, continue to raise awareness in your own circles and continue to keep the pressure up on the government by demanding that MPs and Teresa May do more to provide a safe passage into the UK.
Refugees are people who have had to leave their countries behind, in search of safety and a chance to re-build their lives.

We have a moral duty to help them, Britain is a bigger country than this. We should be stepping up as a world leader in welcoming refugees, not stepping away at their time of need.
