The refugee crisis is escalating

About this Refugee Crisis Appeal

As the crisis escalates, help provide urgent support for refugees who’ve lost everything, as they reach the UK.

Refugees, including those fleeing Afghanistan, desperately need your support. They’ve lost everything they have. The heartbreak of leaving your home, your family, your friends or your career is devastating, so it’s vital that people receive care and support to survive and thrive once they’re here.

So sad to think of the situation these people find themselves in and good to see that organisations are trying so hard to help them and show the humanity the world so badly needs..

The recent tragedy in the channel highlighted that we need to offer support for refugees.

This is so deeply distressing to think that Britain is becoming an ugly state depriving those in desperate need of a place of safety. Drowning is a horrible and painful death.

Thank you for supporting people who are in fear for their lives.


Get social

We need to get the world talking. So whether it’s sharing your donation, organising some fundraising or just spreading the word, making some noise for the Refugee Council is one of the best things you can do.

Already donated? Why not start a fundraiser...

Fundraisers are a great way of reaching out to more people, to raise awareness of the issue and encourage more support.

Start a fundraiser

Do more, for them. 

By fundraising for the Refugee Council, you'll be helping help more people in what is an escalating humanitarian crisis. Setting up a fundraiser activates your friends and family and grows our donations. 

Set yourself a challenge... Hit the road and run 10k. Run your own race at your own pace. Quit something - a month without chocolate, alcohol or smoking - or even all three! If you're feeling brave, get your crowd to sponsor you shaving your head. Or how about trying to say 'yes' to everything... 

Everything you do will make a huge difference to those who need help. And that help is needed now. So what are you waiting for?
