cal-aid

Herne Hill Square saw an incredible turnout with goods donated for the refugees in Calais on Sunday Sept 6th. Some of us still feel like we're sorting, boxing, bagging and labeling! But it was nice to have the Festival and Forum bandstand music on earlier and the operation was cleared before 6pm. The Cal-Aid vans are probably coming to collect on Thursday, so in the meantime, everything is being stored in the arches with preventative measures taken for food to ensure the rodents don't have a feast beforehand!

We have a refugee crisis that has not been since since the Second World War.

Whatever you think are the reasons behind the current crisis we cannot just look away.

Whilst our politicians dither about what to do we in Herne Hill can at least make a small positive difference in our own way.

There is a volunteer organisation set up that are collecting clothing, food and other items to send out to the refugees in Calais called Cal-Aid
