Christmas appeal for people detained in Dungavel
Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom
First target reached!
You can help this project to raise more and reach its stretch target.
Aim: Offering support, friendship and solidarity to people detained in Dungavel detention centre, especially over the festive period
Scottish Detainee Visitors (SDV) has been supporting people in Dungavel for more than 20 years. The UK detains tens of thousands of people a year despite all the evidence that it causes great harm.
Christmas is a particularly difficult time for people in detention and we would like to be able to buy small gifts for the people we visit so they know they are not forgotten:
- A £15 donation would buy a gift of warm clothing for someone in detention at Christmas
We are also fundraising to support our visits:
- A £10 donation would pay for a mobile top up voucher to help someone in detention keep in touch with their family and their lawyer
- A £25 donation would pay for the travel costs for one visit to Dungavel for our staff or volunteers
- A £30 donation would provide an emergency cash grant to someone who is about to be removed from the country
We know how much our support is appreciated by the people detained in Dungavel.
Please help us to continue it.
