Wellspring Church is now a collection point for items that will
be taken to the DRC in Derby to ease the difficulties of Syrians and other asylum-seekers who
have arrived in the city....with nothing. The things that we are asked to donate (note the
changes) are:
footwear
bedding
dried foods
money for travel
Wellspring Church is open to receive such items for the DRC - 10-11.30 every Tuesday and
Saturday mornings - it's open then anyway for coffee. Items will be stored in the church, from
where they'll be collected each week by local co-ordinators.
DERBY REFUGEE ADVICE CENTRE
Helen Knott has written to express DRAC's gratitude for all your donations:
"Many thanks for all the efforts and generous donations you have brought to support
refugees [collected at Wellspring Church]. We now have more than enough winter clothing. I will
send out a message when we start collecting things for Spring/Summer. In the meantime, if you
wish to donate shoes, bedding, dried food or money, these items (only) are still very welcome."
Hence the need is for no more clothing, but the other items as in Helen's message. The bags
(including clothing) that are there just now will be taken to Derby as transport permits.
SHOEBOXES
Our two dozen boxes were delivered to Wingerworth last week.
Link to Hope are very grateful indeed. Alan (the coordinator there) is going to
speak to the Guild in mid-April on Shoeboxes and his trip to E. Europe. Next year
there may be other ways to contribute to the box scheme. Watch this space!
