Every Wednesday in a church hall on Sheil Road in Liverpool, Care4Calais run a drop in service providing free clothing for refugee/asylum seekers in the city. All the clothes are donated, with a huge variety of quality and suitability.

Our task on a sunny Saturday lunchtime was to sort through piles and piles of these donations, assess which were suitable to redistribute and then sort them into age, gender and type. While the Care4Calais volunteers took charge of the adults clothing, Ruth, Phillip, Heetu and Ema waded our way through a never ending sea of children's items. We did our very best not to get distracted by the utter cuteness of some of the outfits, and could only wish adults clothes could be as fun!

Thanks to Ruth, who is a regular volunteer with Care4Calais for helping to arrange this session.
