Hurry up! Clothes, toys needed for Syrian & north African refugees trapped in Greece.

[Gardenman]

I am travelling down to Greece over the Christmas holidays & want to fill my van with clothes & toys for the refugees that are trapped in Greece. They cannot go home & they are not allowed to leave Greece. Having a small holistic centre in Greece, I am very aware of the kindness & generosity of the Greek people during very austere times for them & want to do what I can to help.

I have not been able to find a collection point for contributions, but I will be in Sainsbury's car park on Thursday afternoon & Saturday morning with my blue Exterior Designs van until I get thrown out!! And if you can, I will make sure someone is at my home to receive any contributions.

The things needed are: warm clothes, new underwear for women & children. Clean serviceable toys & soft toys, unwanted musical instruments Non perishable foods. If you would rather make a monetary contribution, I am working with a Norwegian charity called A drop in the ocean. Their website www. drapenihavet. no/en/home/.)

Thank you in advance, please get in contact if you have any questions

I will be outside the large Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill tomorrow Thursday afternoon from 3 pm onwards to collect any new or used clothes & toys. I can't tell you how welcome your generous gifts will be welcome in the refugee camps where I will be visiting. You can't miss my van with its flashing Christmas lights!!! 😁😁😁

And thank you in advance

Thank you to all of you that turned up with your generous contributions. I still have space in the van, ( I told you it was big!!) so, I will be there again on Saturday morning between 9:00 & 12:30

Thanks again, you are amazing

I am outside Sainsbury's now. But hurry up, there's a mean hearted security man trying to throw me out!! BAH HUMBUG!

I'm in the pick up point

[Gardenman]

Thank you to all of you who brought clothes & toys & other items to help the refugees. I did get thrown out in the end due to corporate policy!!! It's a crazy world when multi million pound corporations can't give a little time & space to some of the other causes they are not supporting at this time of year. My faith in the good people of Dulwich & beyond remains, my faith in large corporations does not!!

But thank you again for your kindness, it was a joy to see you & talk to you

Due to travel arrangement problems with the ferry company, I won't be going until next week, so if anyone has any more clothes & toys to donate, I can still take them in at my home address as there is still a bit more room in the van & I really want to take as much as I can.
