cold refugees

Emergency winter clothes appeal for refugees

A winter approaches, so does the cold weather for millions of refugees who have fled their homes seeking sanctuary elsewhere.

A fresh appeal has been launched for new or very good condition winter clothes and boots for displaced people throughout the Middle East.

Also desperately needed are new first aid kits to be sent to a small medical unit in Syria, and care packs for Samara’s Aid Appeal.

Donation day
If you’re able to donate any of the needed items please take them to

Congregational Church
98 Pyle Street, Newport PO30 1UH
on Saturday 14th November, anytime between 1pm and 5pm.

Volunteers needed
Help is needed to pack and sort. If you’re able to please collect banana boxes from supermarkets – as customs require all aid to be packed in these.
