At Herts for Refugees, we believe everyone should be safe, warm and have shelter from the elements. Unfortunately, for refugees trapped at the France-UK border, this is very often not the case. On average, there is an eviction carried out every 48 hours in northern France, and everything, including documents & personal possessions, as well as tents & sleeping bags, is taken, leaving people with only the clothes they stand up in. We want to raise as much money as possible to buy essential items. Winter in northern France can be lethal and there is a real chance people will either not survive or, in desperation, risk their lives crossing the channel in a smugglers rubber boat.
