Care4Calais East London
A volunteer-run refugee charity working with refugees in the UK.

Care4Calais supports refugees and people seeking asylum across the UK by providing essential clothing and practical help, while also campaigning for fair and humane treatment. For this task, we’ll be sorting donated clothing and essential items so they can be distributed quickly and efficiently to people who need them most. This is vital behind-the-scenes work, helping ensure donations are seasonal, suitable, and in good condition, so support can be delivered with dignity and impact.

We previously helped out at Care4Calais’ storage space last year, and they’ve since moved to a new facility at Attic Self Storage in Bow — with better heating and lighting this time!

There are two ways to join in, and everyone is very welcome:

Meet directly at the task at 7:15pm
