Sutton Amnesty received very positive feedback from the Gatwick Detainees Charity in response to our clothing collection. Special thanks go to Muhammed for liaising with the Sutton Dialogue Society which provided an amazing amount of clothing. In the end we collected over 25 laundry bags. In addition to clothing for young men held in detention, we received many items for women and children which will be passed on to Refugees Welcome Crawley.

Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group just wanted to share this note of thanks:

“We receive many donations of clothes each year, but we rarely receive clothes of such good quality and folded so beautifully. We are used to receiving poor quality clothes that, if passed on, would not give the people we wish to support a basic dignity in their clothing. The clothes you kindly donated, on the other hand, were excellent quality”.

Thank you to everyone for their contributions.
