What the charity does
We carry out our objects by receiving donations from members of the public and distributing these to refugees, both in the local community and across the world. Any items unsuitable for distribution are sold at a reduced rate to the local community.We aim to be zero waste wherever possible, using all donated items in some form, donating to other charities where no other options are available.
