  Good morning fine people of strathaven. I am going to be collecting supplies over the next few weeks for a trip to Calais to give aid to the refugees. The vans are leaving Glasgow on 16/10/15. We are looking for unwanted clothing/shoes/toiletries (such as toothbrushes/toothpaste/soap/deodorant)/tinned goods/sleeping bags. I personally do not have room to store supplies so I wondered if anyone has a free space - a garage (watertight) or a spare room, or knows of a church hall etc which would be available temporarily? I'll also be looking for help to transport the stuff to Netherton in Wishaw nearer the time. Any help would be massively appreciated so please PM me if you can assist. Thank you **ps, we also need monetary donations for fuel costs!!

  Refugee crisis FREE - Strathblane/Blanefield My neighbour Elizabeth McQuillan and I are trying to set up drop off/collection points in each village for items for refugees. Can anyone help with a suitable venue? Local shop/cafe/premises with storage facilities? Many thanks.

  Laura D. asked:

  Is there anyone on here that has space to store donations for the refugees in Calais and are willing to help? There has been a group set up called Wishaw to Calais and the people who are driving the van loads of donations to Calais need someone with storage to cover Linlithgow/ Boness areas. I've no storage or I would've helped myself...if interested feel free to look at the page and get as much info as possible before agreeing to be a collection point, thanks for reading.
