Request for help: Clothes needed or donations

Friends, the families have been moved to proper homes, which is great news, though not necessarily on Wirral. The first new group of refugees are now in the Hotel in Hoylake, and they have nothing. They are wearing a set of cheap clothes they were given on arrival, but have no clothes to change into so these can be washed, no spare underwear, and no warm clothes for winter. Many are from poorer nations have no money at all.

We are going out this afternoon to buy urgent stuff from charity shops. we need your help! Can you:

  • Collect or donate men’s (or teenage boy’s) trousers, coats, t shirts, jumpers etc
  • donate a few pounds to help us purchase urgent items – https://gofund.me/eba4c0ddb

Things that are most in demand :

  • sports wear any kind of
  • ⁠slim fit / skinny jeans
  • ⁠jogging bottoms
  • ⁠sporty t-shirts
  • ⁠sweatshirts 
  • warm coats

They need more medium than small, more small than large, more large than X large. A bulk purchase of underwear is in hand.

Serco have requested that no one turns up at the hotel. Instead, please make contact via donations@hoylake4all.com or bring items to St Luke’s on Sunday.

Thank you so very much wonderful people 🙏

    Hi,

    Do you still need clothing donations? Wasn’t sure when this post was put up.

    Many thanks,

    Hi

    Just seen your group and would like to support. I have quite a lot of clothes that I can donate. Is there any other way that I can get involved? For context, I am 58 and have spent my life teaching and holding a pastoral role in secondary schools. I then worked for three years supporting autistic adults, before settling into my current role working with EAL students in a local secondary school.

    Happy to help in any way possible.

    Kind Regards
    Anthony
