'The Jungle' in Calais

Hear about our last trip to Calais 


Why should we help?
​Krish Kandiah speaks about our responsibility as Christians to respond to those in need, not forgetting that God's salvation and redemption was told through the tears, cries and anguish of refugees. 
​

Matthew 25:31-46
"I was a stranger 
  and you welcomed me.”

How else can I help?


All Saints Church is really keen to help others to make a difference. We continue to look for ways in which we can work together. If you feel called to help then please see below for a list of organisations and their appeals, or register your interest using the Volunteer Page.

Home for Good (a Christian charity) works with many local authorities across the UK and has in the past worked closely with churches to help with fostering and adoption. They are now compiling a database of people who have space in their homes and may be interested in exploring further the possibility of fostering unaccompanied asylum-seeking children for a few days in an emergency, short term or long term. 

Unaccompanied minors are extremely vulnerable and may also be traumatised following the loss of everything and everyone they know, long and tortuous journeys, and possibly having witnessed the death of family members.  They may find it difficult to communicate and difficult to trust. It is vitally important that these children are placed in safe homes where they can have the time, space and support to begin to rebuild their lives. 

If you are happy to be contacted about welcoming asylum-seeking children please use the link on the right. 

Help Us support refugees arriving in Europe.
They are issuing an appeal for donations to fund the Diocese in Europe as it reaches out to refugees arriving throughout Europe.

The Diocese in Europe is working on the frontline with refugees, and has asked Us to be the official agency for Anglican churches in Britain and Ireland to channel donations for its work; and we can receive donations from any country.

Your donations to our Rapid Response Fund will help the diocese to provide emergency medical support, food, shelter and pastoral care for refugees. Initially, there will be a particular focus on the situation in Greece and Hungary.

Bishop in Europe David Hamid writes: 'Thank you so much for your support at this critical time.

‘Due to staffing limitations in our diocesan office, it would be best if Us could collect the funds and transfer consolidated funds to the diocese for use in Greece, Hungary and where there is need. We have an efficient process agreed that will help our partners working on the ground.’

Christian Aid launched an appeal to support both partner agencies working in Europe to alleviate suffering in the refugee crisis and organisations in the Middle East providing emergency relief to those forced from their homes by the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.

The charity is also urging people across Cornwall to support its appeal by asking supporters to email Prime Minister David Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May, pressing them to take a courageous stand at EU talks next week to ensure the UK plays a full part in a “permanent, balanced and mandatory EU relocation scheme”, which the charity says must include the UK welcoming those seeking sanctuary in Europe.



#LoveCalais Project
 

Premier Youthwork is calling young people across the UK to help provide protection and warmth to refugees in Calais this winter by sponsoring a temporary shelter in the camp. Each shelter costs £500 to build and can hold up to 12 people. This is a major opportunity to answer Jesus’ simple call to love one another. Learn more and download free resources to help you get started at premieryouthwork.com/lovecalais.
