Refugee Crisis – CWU/CWU Humanitarian Aid Appeal 

Re: Refugee Crisis – CWU/CWU Humanitarian Aid Appeal 

You will all have seen the harrowing images of refugees attempting to escape the war raging in their country, many of them drowning during attempts to reach safety with their families.

 

On reaching Europe they have found themselves in further difficulty as the countries struggle to react to the sheer volume of refugees. This has, in some cases, resulted in the use of water cannons and tear gas.

 

With the assistance of Royal Mail and BT, the CWU and its charity CWUHA, in responding to the crisis are working with the International Trade Union Confederation, Turkish Trade Unions and Social Crisis Commando in an attempt lift some of the misery.

CWUHA volunteers will be leaving the UK late October early November travelling to Hungary and Turkey.

 

This is Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War with thousands of refugees fleeing from war and oppression. With your support CWUHA are responding the best way it can, by delivering basic aid to where help is needed most.
