The cause is real and the donations were even more real! Tons and tons of donations, serving these Afghan refugees when they need it most. C4C recycle hub is based at Recycle 54 in South Wimbledon/ Colliers Wood area and volunteers who attend check and organise the clothing received ensuring that the donations are of the best possible quality, clean and ready to wear.

The project is open all year round and is the first port of call for many displaced communities upon their arrival in the UK, when being placed in South London. Seema the C4C project coordinator said "Some people arrive in literally the clothes on their back" when explaining the importance of this task as it was an essential part of their resettling process.

The work continues and the donations keep coming in so more volunteers are needed to help organise the clothing so that it can be presented in a dignified manner. I, along with Isla from GoodGym and other volunteers from the C4C network, received a warm welcome from Seema and her daughter Iliana ( taking the picture) and you are invited to come along to support the brilliant work that is of massive benefit to those that are in need.
