By Positive Action in Housing - a refugee homelessness charity (SCO27577) based in Glasgow - with a Scotland-wide reach. Each year we assist, advise and represent over 4,000 families in need. Donate via CAF, Internet banking, JustGiving or PaypalGiving Calling members, supporters, faith groups, Iona Communities, Quaker societies, trade union branches, and educational establishments, to donate to our Scotland-wide Winter Refugee Crisis Appeal. November 2024 Dear Friend, I hope you are doing well. As winter approaches, we urgently seek your support for Positive Action in Housing's Winter Refugee Crisis Appeal which aims to raise £25,000 by Christmas Day. This Appeal will provide emergency support from 1st December until February 28th, 2025. Your donation will aid resettlement and provide critical support—food, warm clothing, bus travel and sim cards — to refugee and asylum-seeking families, individuals, and children, some surviving on as little as £1.20 per day. The levels of destitution and insecure housing amongst people from refugee communities in Scotland has greatly increased -hence this intervention. With many services closed or reduced over the festive season, your support will ensure we can provide emergency aid to people living in poverty, struggling with rising food and energy costs, and facing challenges just to heat their homes, feed their children, and stay digitally connected to essential contacts like schools, universities, lawyers, and GPs. We are also distributing crisis support in Aberdeen, Perth, Erskine, Greenock, Paisley, Dundee and Edinburgh where people seeking asylum have been forcibly dispersed. We will be actively supporting over 400 households from 43 countries, including Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iran and Yemen. We will be assisting families with children, older people, the sick, new mothers, and unaccompanied young people from 43 countries of origin. Any amount you donate will contribute to our collective impact, helping us deliver life-saving support where it is most needed. We appreciate monthly donations from £10 a month to sustain our direct emergency support throughout the year. Please consider sharing this appeal with colleagues, friends and family as well. Thank you for standing with us to bring warmth, security, and hope to those who need it most. Finally, here is a link to our latest annual impact report.
