Charities we love

LITTLE RED HEN endeavours to use its most valuable skill, filmmaking, to highlight causes that need attention. But we get our hands dirty too.

HELPING REFUGEES

When the refugee crisis hit headlines in 2015, Natalie got involved with her community helping refugees in France, in the notorious Calais refugee camp called ‘The Jungle’ and in the UK. She focused on helping Walthamstow organise caravans as temporary accommodation for the most vulnerable people through Caravans for Refugees. She also organises regular local collections for Mobile Refugee Support, Side By Side Refugees and Refugee Community Kitchen. One collection resulted in Walthamstow contributed over 1,000 washbags to homeless migrants. She spearheaded a campaign to get mobile phones for the unaccompanied minors before the destruction of the Calais camp. Working with Mobile Refugee Support and Phone Credit for Refugees they distributed hundreds of smart phones to children to make these vulnerable young people as safe as possible.

Locally, Natalie coordinates with refugee mothers and their babies in London to ensure they have the basic necessities. Little Red Hen is also a huge supporter of Stories and Supper, a local group that helps refugees to tell their stories and get to know their new community.

LOCAL & GLOBAL
