From 12 Noon on Tuesday 3 December to 10 December 2024 your donations to forRefugees will be doubled by The Big Give. This means every pound you give will go twice as far in bringing critical support to refugees this winter. Our goal is to raise £50,000—and we need your help to make it happen.

Imagine being forced to leave your home with nothing but the clothes on your back, separated from loved ones and thrust into an uncertain future. For millions, this is the stark reality of becoming a refugee. Many arrive in new countries with no food, shelter, or access to medical care, often overwhelmed by complex asylum systems and language barriers. And, heartbreakingly, they are often met with hostility instead of help.

This is where forRefugees steps in. Thanks to the generosity of donors and the work of our frontline partners we provide essentials like food, clothing and clean water, as well as legal guidance, medical care and safe spaces for emotional healing. As one service user in Thessaloniki shared – “When I’m at the community centre, I feel good. In the camp, I think about a lot of things, but here I feel better.”

Your support is vital. A local partner in France told us, “We’re incredibly lucky to have forRefugees’ support. We appreciate the collaboration so much.” And one UK donor said, “You guys do cool work—much needed work—and I love the model too.”

This Christmas, your DOUBLED donation can mean the difference between despair and hope for refugees across Europe. Together, we can show them that their lives matter. Don’t miss this opportunity to make twice the impact.

Mark your calendars: Tuesday 3 December at Noon. Let’s take urgent action for refugees this winter!

Only on this link from 3-10 December! https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a056900002TPUCOAA5
