We are reaching out to partners and contacts as Southampton Action is struggling to get the items we need to support a large intake of new arrivals of male asylum seekers and families of women and children arriving in the UK on refugee family reunion.
If you are able to assist in forwarding this information onto partners you work with, that would be fantastic. We have a storage location in Townhill Park. Please email: information@southamptonaction.org to arrange a time to drop off any donations and get the full address details. All items must be good quality and clean. Second hand items welcome except where specified.No electrical items or sharp objects.
