Refugee Aid was started after the Green Gathering 2015, where the two founders met small groups who were already delivering aid to Calais. Inspired by the direct action, and considering the story was not in the news at this point, we started planning ways to help.
We felt moved by the generosity of spirit and initiative that ordinary citizens had shown, and by the severe plight the refugees were in. We started the Kit-2-Calais campaign to provide direct aid and to help spread the message of the crisis on our doorstep.
