Request: Donations / Gift cards / Kind messages

This week, we want to do something kind for hundreds of asylum seekers and refugees.

Throughout the year, we work with various small charities that provide frontline support and services for asylum seekers living in the UK. We help to provide things like school uniforms, toys, books, crafts, food, clothes and bicycles. We do this because we believe it’s important for people living in hotels and other temporary accommodation to have the things they need - but more than that, we want them to know that they are not alone and that there are people out there who care about them.

The small charities we work with are amazing, and sadly some of them have been having to temporarily suspend deliveries or close early for the safety of their staff.

It feels like the perfect time to spread some extra kindness. Every penny we raise will be used to provide things for asylum seekers and refugees living in hotels or temporary accommodation. If you would prefer to buy something from a wishlist, we have set up a small wishlist with some gift cards for clothes and other essential items. You can also send a kind message.
