As the devastating humanitarian emergency of the refugee crisis continues to unfold, many charities are on the front line providing emergency support to those fleeing war and persecution.

Manufacturers and retailers have donated essential products to In Kind Direct to help charities supporting refugees. Donated goods such as shampoo, warm clothing, sleeping bags and toothpaste are already making a real difference relieving destitution on the ground, but the needs in both the short term and over the long term are huge.

We are now asking for your help to fund sourcing more needed items and storing, handling and distributing stock to where it's needed most.

"With In Kind Direct we are able to provide toiletry packs to newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers. That brings self-respect; a very important thing when circumstances and systems around you appear to do all they can to strip you of confidence and self-worth.”

Rupert Blomfield, British Red Cross Refugee Services
