I have an item of furniture/electrical appliance/clothes, curtains or bed linen, etc I would like to donate.
Thank you for your offer! Unfortunately we do not have any space to store donations that aren’t currently needed. When we receive any new families in the area and find out specifically what they will need we will put out a request for items on Facebook.
Where else can I donate?
Cambridge RRC naturally have a lot more families than us so your donations may be needed by them, you can find information about what they need here.
Otherwise, we try to support local homeless charities where possible, such as Emmaus.
How can I donate money?
Please see our donations page for our JustGiving link, and for our bank details in case you would consider setting up a standing order. If you’d prefer to donate money via a different method, please contact info@elyrrc.co.uk
Are donations eligible for gift aid?
Yes they are!
How will my money be spent?
We help the council by providing a lot of the things that our families need, such as bikes, school uniforms and books, as well as paying for occasional social events with the Cambridge refugees to help them feel welcomed by the community.
We are also looking for another house in Ely for a third family. Although the rent is paid for by the council, the Local Housing Association rate means that our options are limited. But with your donation we could provide a monthly rental top up, meaning a much better chance of finding a property.
