Hi all. Welcome to our donation portal! As we are a small charity, we have few overheads and therefore all donations make a big impact. Monthly donations allow us to plan further ahead, and better secure the futures of refugees we work with.

Story

A group of 33 third Year boys (Year 11s) are volunteering through Tonbridge Community Action to better understand the complex issues behind the global refugee crisis and raise funds to help those families in Lesvos whose temporary homes in Moira camp were raised to the ground in the recent fires.  Collectively we are aiming to run or cycle the equivalent of the 2,000 miles from Tonbridge-Lesvos.  We are also volunteering with the charity RefugEase  (www.refugease.com) to sort and pack donations, and to understand an empathic response to the global situation.

RefugEase is a small n mighty UK-based NGO that lives to help our war-torn brothers and sisters around the globe. We support with emergency humanitarian aid, crisis awareness, and education for refugees. Above all, we strive for their long-term independence. Our focuses are three-fold:1. Humanitarian aid: Serving refugee camps in Europe by sending life-saving aid and field-based volunteers, with a focus on France and the Greek islands.2. Awareness: Teaching UK children about the worlds bursting refugee crisis: why it's happened, what is happening, and how can they help.3. Education & Empowerment: Teaching refugees about their rights, offering child refugees an education they can build a future on, and upskilling adult refugees (in the UK and abroad) into employment to empower them long-term.
