‘Golden Giver Challenge’ – we have had an amazing response over the past few months when we have put out appeals for food and toiletries for the destitute asylum seekers supported by the British Red Cross, who provide approx. 150 food parcels each week to those denied access to housing and/or financial support, and also denied the right to work and support themselves. Because the need is ongoing, and as a way of encouraging and recognising those who give so generously, over Refugee Week we launched the Golden Giver Challenge – a challenge to get together with family, friends, colleagues, classmates etc, and over the period of a year donate 50 bags of food and other essential supplies to the British Red Cross (flyer below with more information) – this project has been launched but needs more people to get involved in it’s running and in taking it into schools and other groups.
