A call went out from West Middlesex Hospital for donations to pregnant Afghan women refugees arriving at Heathrow. These women have arrived with very little and many have had to be admitted into hospital. It is unknown how long they will be staying at the hospital and when they are likely to be moved within the UK. Some items from Soroptimist International Epsom & District were delivered to a drop off point in Surbiton.
Although donations have now closed, if you have any of the following items, you can contact Care4Calais https://care4calais.org/ who have a number of donation drop off points around the country for Afghanistan Refugees.
