Can your clothes help change the world?

CalAid is a UK charity that collects old and new clothes. They want them for refugees. These people, young and old, are running away from dangerous countries. They are trying to start new lives. But when they arrive, they often have nothing. They only have the wet clothes they are wearing. Children are wearing summer clothes in the middle of winter. They have light, summer jackets but they don’t have coats for the rain. Small children are walking for days in cheap boots. Mothers are holding babies who are wearing old pyjamas.

So how does CalAid work? People take their old clothes to schools or collection centres. Then every week a lorry drives to Calais in France with the clothes and the other things that people give. At the moment the refugees urgently need winter clothes. They are living in terrible camps, in terrible conditions. The low temperatures at night are making things more difficult. The charity is asking for gloves, hats and scarves right now. They also want men’s socks and good walking boots.

So please don’t throw your clothes away! You can take them to a school near you. Tell your friends to help too! But please don’t bring summer clothes or smart clothes. These clothes are unnecessary at the moment. The clothes have to be warm for the winter and comfortable.
