Hi All
It’s been a while since my last report that I sent out, after we had finished the fundraising campaign. As a quick reminder, in this last report, I explained that given the current situation and needs across what is undoutedly a globally connected problem, we had decided to shift the focus of our response to the refugee crisis, from France and Dunkirk, to Greece.

Hi All
It’s been a while since we finished the fundraiser and we are now in the position where we have made a decision as to how the £40k raised, would best be spent.
This decision has been made in consultation with a number of people; those on the ground, those really informed as to what is going on, and Help Refugees, our charity partner.

Dear all
The fundraising campaign has now ended...
I’m delighted to let you know that the final total, with gift aid added, is an amazing £40,600! Our original target was £25k. Thanks to you, we absolutely smashed it.

INCREDIBLE: We have just passed the 1000 backers mark. I wanted to send a quick update and thank you for your response and participation in this campaign.
We are still hopeful of reaching our £50,000 target with 18 days left to donate.
Please tell as many people as you can and share this campaign on social media, let's keep this momentum going!
£50,000 will help 345 people, can we do it?

UPDATE: Can we hit £50,000?
Wow! Thank you so much for the donations that have been rolling in thick and fast.
Our original target was to raise over £25,000 and so create shelter for over 170 people. In less than two weeks we exceeded this initial goal and increased the target to £35,000 - enough to create 60 shelters and help 240 people. Now, only seven days later, we have met that target as well and have been completely blown away by the response to this campaign.
The question now is, can we hit £50,000 and help 345 people?

UPDATE: NEW TARGET OF £35,000
Thank you so much for making a huge difference to those living in Dunkirk. In less than two weeks we've hit our original target of £25,000. Together we've raised enough to fund shelters for over 170 people.
But with thousands of women, children, and young and old men living in totally inadequate tents and shelters, we must keep going. We can help so many more people.
So we now have a new target of £35,000. We have 37 days to go, so let's all keep pushing this campaign.

Well that was fast!
I promise not to keep bombarding you with these updates, but since my last update yesterday afternoon, (to let you know we'd reached the £10k milestone), we've now doubled that! Incredible.
Overnight we've raised a further £10k and are now sitting on a total of over £21k!
£21k is enough for 36 shelters for 150 people... Thank you all so much.
Keep spreading the word!
