We're delighted to once again host a night of festive cheer with local choir group SHE Choir Bristol, who'll be singing an array of Christmas carols. Mulled cider and mince pies will also be available, and we'll be serving roasts until 6pm too.We'll be raising money for local charity Aid Box Community, which was founded in 2015 by Imogen Mcintosh, who after seeing the image of young Alan Kurdi's body washed up on the mediterranean shore was not able to look away.
After calling out for donations from friends and family to take to the french refugee camps and getting the most overwhelming response form the Bristol public a group was formed 'Aid Box Convoy' 30 Volunteers convoyed to Dunkirk Refugee camp with 350 Aid Boxes, hundreds of tents, sleeping bags, food boxes and building materials to attend to the basic needs of the people stranded in the camp.
Aid Box Convoy continued to coordinate volunteers and donations on the camp, fundraise and raise awareness across the UK and Europe of the plight of refugees.
In April 2016 after witnessing the poverty, isolation and trauma that many were experiencing once they had reached the UK, Aid Box Convoy became Aid Box Community, a Free shop and welcome hub in Bristol. From here ABC provide support, Supplies and Sanctuary to hundreds refugees and asylum seekers in Bristol.
Aid Box Community is a humanitarian charity born from love and powered by people.
They are once again running their Refutree campaign! Buy a Christmas tree and help a Refugee! ABC sells Christmas trees, lights, stands, and even a few hand-made wreaths and decorations - all to make your Christmas a little more loving than usual by helping us support the increasing number of refugees and people seeking asylum we are welcoming.♥️
