Need a collection point for clothes, food, blankets for refugees stranded in Greece

[Gardenman]

I am taking my van down to Lesbos in Greece for Christmas to help the thousands of refugees from Syria who are stuck in the country, as the borders are closed to them. I am hoping to load the van full, so I need a church or a hall where people can take the goods, toys, blankets,non perishable foods, & I can load them from there. I only have a small flat!

As soon as this is done, I will update if you wish to make a contribution of any kind. If you wish to make a donation, I will set up an account for this. I have approached some charities to help, but have not received a reply! I am paying for the trip myself & would welcome someone, a volunteer to map read & help when we get down there.

Any questions?

Give me a call

Nice thoughts and kindness Nigel.

I have a friend who was out in Lesvos for a month,. He was doing it through these guys: http://www.drapenihavet.no/en/home/

Be worth getting in touch, as they will no doubt advise of the stuff they actually need and that are in short supply.

Good luck with you venture.

Thank you both of you. I have had a reply from Drapinhavet ( Drop in the ocean) & will be coordinating my trip with them. Very excited. I just need a centrally located place to collect the goods together. So if anyone has a place where people can bring their donations for the next 2 weeks I would be very grateful.

More details to follow:

No success yet in finding a collection place locally in East Dulwich. So, I repeat, if anyone knows of somewhere where people can bring clothes, toys, non perishable foods, shoes. It will only be for two weeks & im happy to man the place if needed. Any questions, please call me
