Afghan refugee  children campaign

More than £2,000 has so far been raised as part of a campaign to provide winter clothing for Afghan refugee children arriving in the UK.

The initiative is organised by Christian group Afghan Welcome – whose director is Krish Kandiah (see photo), and whose supporters include en contributor Graham Miller of the London City Mission, Gavin Calver of the Evangelical Alliance and many others.

The group says: ‘Around 7,500 Afghan refugee children are about to experience winter in the UK for the very first time. Most of the families arrived very recently with only the clothes on their backs and perhaps some hand luggage, and do not have anything warm to wear.’
