As part of the Refugee Charities Network, we have been promoting Donate4Refugees' Big Give campaign, and we are delighted that we have hit our funding target.
A massive thank you to Sarah Chambers and the Shamblers walking group, and to the 500 reasons group, both of whom have supported our ongoing poncho fundraiser.
The Daily Bread in Kings Hedges continues to be a great supporter of CamCRAG, and this week we collected over £170 in coins from their collection pot in the shop. Thank you to them and their customers!
Thank you to everyone who helped run our stall on Mill Road last Saturday, we raised over £230 from sales and donations, and thank you to the organisers.
On this convoy we were asked by Collective Aid, who distribute non-food items in Calais, to lend a hand relocating back to the original l'Auberge warehouse: A weekend memorable for heavy lifting, and aching muscles on Monday morning!
Thanks to all the volunteers who came on our October volunteer convoy to Calais. We achieved a great deal over the two days, and some of our more intrepid volunteers even took a sunset swim in the channel after a hard day's work.
We would like to thank Ank Rigelsford and Margaret Comer, and wish them a very happy birthday, for raising respectively £204 and £189 for CamCRAG from their birthday fundraisers.
Thank you to all our members and everyone who came to yesterday's Annual General Meeting and Get Together. Around 40 people attended the evening and watched presentations on the charity's achievements over the past year, and our plans for the year ahead. We also listened to three very informative talks from NGO workers
We are really proud to announce a new partnership between Lebanon Free Shop and CamCRAG to ship and distribute the majority of the donations we collect to stock up the Free Shop, a project based in Bekaa offering refugees and local people the opportunity to select the decent items they want and need with choice and dignity.
