Quick update to all the wonderful people who have volunteered their time and/or donations here. We are having a meeting today with key people involved in the decision-making (how many refugees will come to York and when). We hope it will give us a better sense of what we will need. In the case of clothes, as we head towards Autumn/Winter, good-quality coats are always a priority.

At the same time, people will need certain items that can’t be donated second-hand, but we can provide for them with your financial help. So please do visit our website to donate, even a small amount will help buy items like toiletries, underwear and school provisions for children. Once again, thank you for your fabulous response and we will be back with news.
