British people power helps Syrian refugees
As the refugee crisis engulfs Europe, a people's army of British volunteers are gathering donations of aid so they can run mercy missions to the thousands of desperate migrants and refugees. Prime Minister David Cameron has said he was 'deeply moved' by pictures of a drowned Syrian toddler and vowed that Britain will fulfil it's 'moral responsibilities'.
Dozens of volunteers, the length and breadth of Britain, have been so moved by the plight of refugees in Calais that they have have set up fundraising campaigns to organise aid.
From Newcastle and Manchester to London and Brighton, small groups are gathering clothes, tents, sleeping bags and medical equipment to ship to refugees gathered mainly in Calais.
