Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
Care4Calais work to ensure that refugees have appropriate clothes to live in the UK, giving them back their dignity and allowing them to engage with services in the community without feeling ashamed by their appearance.
โ What is the Task?
