CamCRAG was founded in 2015 by activists in and around Cambridge, with the aim of sending donations and volunteers to help refugees in the Calais area. We also organise donation drop off days, raise awareness of the refugee situation in Europe, and provide funds to frontline organisations.

Story

No one should have to sleep rough in winter, but over the coming months dozens of homeless people in Cambridge and thousands of refugees in Northern France will face the bitter reality of trying to sleep in freezing cold, wet, and wretched conditions.

The Cambridge Convoy Refugee Group (CamCRAG) in cooperation with Women’s Homelessness Action Group (WHAG) are hosting the "Fundraising For Refugees And The Homeless" event at St Giles'Church, Castle Hill, Cambridge over the weekend of 8th-9th February 2025. This event highlights the fact that these people all face the same problems, and that they share a common humanity, and that homelessness is not their fault.

They may be in this situation because they have lost their job, have family problems, have suffered illness, or because they face imprisonment and torture in their home country. Our message is that it doesnt matter - they deserve help without judgement, wherever and whoever they are.

There will be a winter fair during Saturday afternoon with food and craft stalls, guest speakers, and entertainment, followed by a shared evening meal for the sleepers and guests, and a communal breakfast to celebrate an amazing night.

All the money raised will go towards supporting CamCRAG's activities in Northern France, and towards supporting our charity partner the Women’s Homelessness Action Group.
