HELP FOR AFGHAN REFUGEES - UPDATE:

Many thanks to everyone who supported CRAG’s car boot sale on Sunday 29th August. Thanks to your generosity we raised over £2,000 to help Afghan refugees.

WE HAVE NOW DONATED THIS MONEY TO ASYLUM WELCOME, an Oxfordshire-based charity currently supporting up to a hundred Afghan refugees in a local hotel during what could be an extended transition period.

COLLECTIONS: We are still waiting to find out what is needed and where collected items will be accepted (all our usual donors are inundated at the moment). As soon as we know we will update this page. Thank you for all your enquiries.

WELCOMING LITTLE AMAL

The 12-foot high puppet of a 9-year-old Syrian refugee is walking from southern Turkey to Manchester, looking for her mother. Thousands of refugee children have made journeys like this.

Amal is coming to Oxford on 26th October. We want children aged 7 and up to come and welcome her. We’ll be running a workshop to make a welcome banner early in October. If you’d like to come please email campaigns@charlburyrefugee.org.uk.

Thank you very much to all the children who drew pictures of Little Amal for the CRAG Street Fair stall. We got 23 wonderful drawings in total. The CRAG committee donated 50p for each drawing.
