A huge thank you to all the film lovers of Chorleywood Film Club and beyond who came out to support the special screening of Ken Loach’s last film THE OLD OAK in collaboration with Chorleywood4Refugees earlier this month.

The evening not only supported Herts For Refugees AND Chorleywood Aid for Ukraine with £750 EACH, but ALSO raised an additional £800 through gift sales from handmade crafts by local refugees - the profits of which goes straight back to support these talented crafters and creators.

A powerful film with a resounding message - that when we share together - we stay together with a compassion and understanding that breaks down barriers and finds beautiful commonality between us.

Thank you to everyone for your support especially Rachel of Chorleywood4Refugees and Keith and Co of Chorleywood Film Club 🧡
