My friend Jess and I are hosting a fundraising night at Fuel Withington on the 17th May, raising funds and awareness for Calais Food Collective.

I've made this link for those who may wish to donate even if they cannot make the event.

Below is some information regarding Calais Food Collective (CFC):

CFC was set up 'as an emergency response to the pandemic when other NGOs were forced to suspend services, to ensure people still had access to food'.

CFC provide ingredients for displaced peoples--this, instead of pre-cooked meals, was at first necessitated by the social distancing guidelines at the time, but actually it facilitated autonomy for the people CFC was serving.

With only enough funds to last a few more months, CFC urgently needs help to keep their water and food projects running. Without these projects, the water and food insecurity already faced by many displaced communities in Calais would worsen.

The impact of your donation:

£15 pays for a food pack for a group of five people.

£130 buys a 1000L water tank.

£250 pays for our food bank subscription for one month.

£540 pays our water bill for one month.

Please donate! If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing the fundraiser to help :)

Thank you so much!

Annie
