This site was only ever going to be a temporary site, and so now please go here for information.
I'll take this page down in a few weeks

Sorry to post here, but I don't know how else to contact you.
I am writing to you about the refugee situation in Calais and Lesvos. I have a particular interest in this, as my mother was a refugee from Germany during the last war at the age of 6 and her mother was a refugee from Lithuania, during the programs by Stalin. Neither ever recovered from the trauma and I know from them what a hideous experience it was.
I Iive in Marsh Baldon, and have been collecting for the refugees in Calais who are living in deplorable circumstances. I have become aware that the many refugees on Lesvos (who include large numbers of women and children) are in as bad, if not worse conditions. At present almost all the assistance they have been getting, has been down to the goodwill of a few volunteers, and winter is coming. I was wondering if you might make a collection for them after your service. I am attaching several links which might be of interest, including a Guardian article about the conditions in Calais, and the charities dealing with Lesvos and Calais. I would be so grateful.
Many thanks,
Sue Shaw
