Fundraising for Shpresa Programme
Story
My name's Rose, and I'm shaving my luxurious mane of curls in the hopes of raising a few bob for an excellent charity. Below is an excerpt from one of Shpresa's incredible volunteers, Esme, who works tirelessly as a legal professional in defence of the rights of refugees and asylum-seekers.
We are living in unprecedented times. Shpresa works with some of the most vulnerable children and young people, women and families and its ethos has always been to proudly take care of the community and give back to others, but right now Shpresa needs your help.
The current crisis means people are not able to manage, and there is a real risk of very vulnerable individuals have no food or being forced into exploitative situations. We can meet this crisis with kindness and courage and if many of us join together, everything is possible.
