With the threat of flights to Rwanda, overcrowding at Manston and hostile rhetoric used against those seeking asylum in the media and even in Parliament, there has never been a greater need to show those seeking sanctuary in the UK that they are welcome, wanted and valued. Please help us to support refugees by enabling us to buy toiletries, new underwear, and shoes in the correct sizes. We rely on donations of clothes and other necessities from our supporters, but for reasons of dignity or lack of suitable donated items, there are always some items we need to buy.

Every single individual donation makes a difference, but if you want to do a bit more, why not try a sponsored event?

We are looking for five people to run the Southampton marathon events (including 5k, 10k and half marathon options) on Sunday 2nd April. If you are interested, please email information@southamptonaction.org.

If running isn't your thing but you need some motivation to complete your own fitness challenge, why not create a sponsored run, walk, swim, hop or anything else that gets you moving? Alternatively, you could do a sponsored knit, read... or anything else you can think of!

Setting up a fundraising page is easy - just click "Start Fundraising" and follow the instructions.

Fundraisers are great, but so are individual donations. Please donate what you can afford today.
