Free essentials
Please note that many local charities and community voluntary organisations may be collecting donations of clothing, food and toiletries to support refugees. Examples are the White Eagle Appeal in Balham, London, who have a Refugee Boutique; refugees may make an appointment and visit to select clothes and other items they need. They can be contacted on their Facebook page – White Eagle Appeal | Facebook. Another such group is Surrey Stands With Ukraine, who also have a donations hub based in Epsom.
If you are struggling to pay for food, you can search for your local foodbank via this link: https://www.trusselltrust.org/get-help/find-a-foodbank/. Remember that foodbanks consist of donations from the public and there are already many people in the UK that need to use foodbanks, so only take what you need.

You can also contact local church groups or refugee support groups to see if they can source donated items for you that you are struggling to find or afford.
