HULL HELP FOR REFUGEES
We collect clothing and other items and raise funds to help asylum seekers in Hull and East Riding, as well as vulnerable people locally. We also provide a small amount of assistance to asylum seekers overseas. We aim to raise awareness of the situation of people seeking asylum, by organising public events, such as talks, and being involved in local festivals etc.
