We are part of Unite The Union (More about us here)
Thousands of refugees are surviving in makeshift camps around Calais and Dunkirk, many of them children. It is a harsh and precarious existence: they are largely ill-equipped for the North European climate, and must brave the elements with few of the essentials we take for granted.
Following our successful trip in May 2026, PDUC branch members will again be driving to France with a van full of aid for these vulnerable people, and spending a weekend volunteering for the charity Care4Calais (C4C). If you are free on the weekend of 15-17 January and would like to join us, please get in touch as soon as possible. Volunteers need to complete C4C's safeguarding training course online at least a month before visiting the camps.
The participants on our previous trip found working in the warehouse and the camps highly life-affirming and rewarding. Read about our experiences here.
As well as appealing for volunteers to take part, we are also appealing for donations. The list of things we are after is here. Please take a look, and read carefully - the charity's requirements are quite specific. If you have any of these items going spare, don't keep them, but hand them over to us so we can deliver them to people who really need them!
We have planned the three collection dates below, but if you can't make any of them we will happily come to you - just get in touch.
To help cover the costs of the trip and to purchase aid items, any amount you are able to give will be very much appreciated!
