ABOUT US

This is an online auction to provide urgent aid to refugees held in camps around Europe, and to unaccompanied minors with a legal right to come to the UK.

There are currently around 88,000 unaccompanied children in refugee camps in Europe; Interpol reports that 10,000 have gone missing in the past year. This report highlights just how desperate the situation has become: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/02/child-refugees-calais-failed-by-britain.

Funds raised by this auction will go directly to these charities:

HELP REFUGEES www.helprefugees.org.uk
Assisting refugees in camps throughout Europe such as Calais, Dunkirk, and 22 camps across Greece.

SAFE PASSAGE
http://safepassage.org.uk
Unites unaccompanied children in Calais with their family members in the UK. Also provides them with much-needed support once they arrive. So far the scheme has helped 55 youngsters in this way, rescuing them from traffickers, and the dangers, sometimes fatal, of going it alone.

ISLINGTON REFUGEE CENTRE
http://www.islingtoncentre.co.uk
Here, refugees are offered counselling and legal advice, English lessons, hot meals, classes and activities. More than that, it provides a community for those who would otherwise be isolated. Funded entirely from voluntary donations, it is currently only able to open two days a week.

Follow the above links, and you will see several appearances by actress Juliet Stevenson. Juliet has devoted no less than nine months of her year to helping refugees, and working out how best to provide aid. In June 2016 she helped launch Highgate Has Heart to this end:

Highgate Has Heart is not itself a charity: funds raised by Authors Refugees go directly to the above charities.
