A crisp and much less windy evening saw 12 GoodGymmers turn up to help sort through the mountains of clothes etc at the Slough Refugee Support. For a while it seemed like we might have to turn our backs to the mountains as no key was found in the lockbox! A quick call to a mysterious Jason sorted that out and we were in. Our task was simple, sort the donated clothes into bags, and shoes and accessories into other bags. Our target was to get to 32 bags. Within the next hour, we sorted out 56 and only stopped because there were no more bags left! While some of the piles looked a lot smaller than before, there's still plenty to do when we go back.

Slough Refugee Support - Maidenhead Depot
Helping Refugees and Asylum Seekers across the Thames Valley

Slough Refugee Support โ€“ SRS โ€“ is a registered charity focused exclusively on the needs of refugees and asylum seekers. Established in 1997, we welcome and offer practical help to some of the most marginalised people in the local community - helping them with the many obstacles they face in their efforts to settle, contribute and thrive in the UK. Our philosophy and approach is rooted in the belief that refugees want and need to achieve self-reliance and independence as soon as they can. Our core programme is based around drop-in advice sessions and follow-up casework to resolve identified issues.
