As part of the festival salvage we receive from our partners in the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands we had accumulated a large amount of inflatable airbeds.
They’re not an item we could easily distribute as they need to be inflated with a pump and we didn’t have many of those.
They do provide some extra comfort though, helping to keep bedding off the ground, offering a slightly more comfortable surface for sleeping.
So we decided to take them to distro and simply get people involved with inflating them.

On several occasions we brought the mattresses to the distribution point along with a number of pumps. Our team helped, everyone shared the pumps, taking it in turns and helping each other out. Families took the large mattresses, kids started using them to practice cartwheels, people chatted to each other as they inflated the airbeds. Friendly competitions started to see who could inflate their mattress the fastest.

We focus all our distributions on the most vital items. Our ethos is always to support people with items and services to make their time enduring the harsh conditions slightly more bearable. Airbeds may seem like quite trivial items. They’re not vital but they give a little bit of extra comfort in what are harsh living conditions.
Items we thought we couldn’t distribute have provided some instant respite and lifted spirits. That means a lot to us.

Phone charging is how it all started for us.

Having a charged mobile phone is a lifeline for displaced people.

We support communication and information needs by bringing phone charging to camp any day it is needed and by charging power banks overnight back at the warehouse.

In makeshift camps where there is no access to electricity at all, charge is one of those simple services we have always provided and will continue to provide for as long as it is necessary.

We distribute these items every single day, prioritising new arrivals and re-equipping after evictions.

But everyday we run out and we have to turn people away.

Please consider a donation to allow us to have more to give.
With €15 we can buy a winter sleeping bag

We have to be honest.
Amidst the moral injury of the world and the collective grief roaring inside us all, knowing what to say to raise funds this Christmas hasn’t been easy.

We can start the long list of all that is revolting and wrong with the way people continue to be treated on this border.

Walls have been built.
Literally and figuratively.
More than ever before hateful and dehumanising language is being paroted by politics and the media alike.
British far-right groups have come to the camp to intimidate and harass people in exile.
Attacks on human rights and downright lies are rife.

Being part of a system that contradicts everything we believe to be right.
Witnessing harm and feeling powerless to stop it.
It can feel hopeless.

So what can we do?
We keep showing up. Louder, more determined and steadfast.
To drown out the racist rethoric and othering.
When communities are being targeted and scapegoated we must respond with solidarity and hope. With the conviction that we can make a difference for one person at a time.

We have one wish for Christmas
To help more
To support every man, woman and child we meet with the basic vital items and support they need to make their time in exile more bearable.
It’s the bare minimum.

You can be part of that.

With your donation we can give one more sleeping bag, tent, pair of shoes or winter jacket.

We can expand our services and take in more laundry, distribute more food packs, say yes more often than we have to say no.

Donate what you can to make a real difference for one person.

As humans looking out for humans
Standing with and for each other
In kinship.
We won’t back down.

Links to donate through paypal or justgiving are in our bio.

With €15 we can buy a new pair of winter boots
Shoes are one of the items most in demand and we never have enough
It’s a lot of saying no
And a lot of hating that we have any say at all in who needs shoes the most.
Your donation could be the difference between someone facing the elements in flip flops or in a sturdy new pair of winter boots.

Donation links are in bio as well as linked on stories.
Thank you

We work hard to treat everyone who comes to us as an individual. Asking what it is they need or want and doing our best to provide just that. That’s why the way we provide clothing is a little different. It’s done through a system of orders and offers each person the agency and dignity they deserve. Clean, good condition clothes aren’t a luxury, they’re essential.

With €20 we can buy a warm winter jacket
With €10 a basics pack of socks, underwear, a beanie

You can make a difference and be the reason someone gets to change out of their damaged, wet and muddy clothes.

Our links to donate via PayPal or Just Giving are in our bio and linked in stories

Thank you 🙏

Winter has well and truly arrived in North France.
The temperatures dropped drastically in the last 10 days. It has rained and even snowed and men, women and children continue to have to survive and make do in undignified, unsanitary conditions.
It may be cold and wet but that hasn’t stopped the authorities from carrying our weekly destructive evictions and daily harassment tactics.

The cold comes as a shock to everyone. The urgency of having the bare minimum of a tent, a sleeping bag, warm clothes and waterproof shoes sets in. Our team remains on the ground daily responding to people’s vital need for shelter and warmth.

We do so through dozens of interactions every day. Countless conversations. We may have no choice but to have lines to manage our distributions but it’s always individual to individual. Our team gets to know those we serve, we recognise people and offer as much individual support as we can.

“Long sleeve or short sleeve tshirt?”
“Do you take sugar?”
“Here you go, brother” handing nappies to a dad with his baby in a carrier
“We’ll return your laundry in two days”
“We have air beds today. Would you like one? But you have to pump it. Ok?”
“We can give a tent for four people”
“Try the shoes on, to check the size”
“You have a jacket, I can’t give you another, I’m sorry. I’ll bring you a jumper, ok?”
“Arabic? Tigrinya? We can use the translator”
“Did you write your name for a sleeping bag? Here you go.”
“The police might come tomorrow. Try to hide your tent”
“We’re bringing wood later. Can we drop some to you? Where is your tent?”
“We can bring you a food parcel tomorrow. What would you like? Do you need a pot or some cutlery?”

As an organisation we are grateful to each one of our volunteers who work tirelessly, having hard conversations and learning to say “no, sorry”. It never gets easy and the colder it gets the harder having to decline a request gets.

To keep supporting displaced communities around Dunkirk this winter we need your help. Links to donate are in our bio. Share our posts, it helps a lot.

In solidarity, in defiance

On the 28th October the French state and its police force took their cruelty and harassment towards displaced people to a new level.

They took everything from an estimated 600 people and then they built a 4m block wall to make sure no one could go back for the belongings they had no time to gather before being evicted .

Our team of volunteers worked hard providing what additional support we could, often with the help of the community. The gratitude we have received is humbling as always.
It’s not the first time such a ruthless and large scale eviction happens.
It won’t be the last.
It breaks our hearts everytime.@

October 2025 on the French/British border

On one side there’s the undeniable hardship, the state violence, the weekly evictions, the cold and the storms, the systemic trampling of people’s fundamental rights.

Opposing that, there’s our team. Each one of us whether for years or a few weeks is moved to action. There is so much respect and solidarity flowing between our volunteers and the communities we serve, it goes well beyond the aid that is distributed.

Everyone on our team knows the importance we put into meeting people individually. Asking what is needed, fulfilling individual needs through a system of orders. Giving each person the agency to tell us what they need which in turn allows us to tailor our distributions avoiding waste and unsuitable items flooding the camp.

We get to know the people who come to us personally. We train volunteers to identify new arrivals so they can be equipped as a priority. We recognise people, doing our best to address them by name, sometimes relying on their help to translate or explain the process to someone new.

We’re all acutely aware of how unjust and unacceptable it is for any of us to have any say in what aid and support someone might receive. That in itself is a construct of the system we are in. Where grassroots and volunteers take on the role of the state in assessing and delivering services and distributions.
Saying no, running out, turning someone away whom we know needs help is the hardest part of what we do. It never gets easier and it’s hand on heart the reason we wish we didn’t need to be here.

We often ask ourselves what would happen if we weren’t, here. While we strive for a time and a world where we wouldn’t be needed; we’re not prepared to take the risk of finding out what would or wouldn’t happen.
One thing is for sure, refuge seeking people would be the ones to suffer the consequences. We won’t allow that. We stand in solidarity with every person in exile seeking safety whatever the reason may be. And we stand in defiance of every violant and punishing border regime.

Will you stand with us? Come and join us, email [email protected]
We need volunteers from December.
