Refugee Youth Service and Velos Youth are grassroots organisations providing in partnership, since 2015, safe sanctuaries and opportunities for wellbeing and growth to young people on the move, in France, Greece and Italy.
While the “refugee crisis” fades away from public eye, thousands of young people, many of them unaccompanied minors, are struggling their way to a more humane future, away from conflict and deprivation.
Refugee Youth Service & Velos Youth are places for first - arrivals and second chances, serving the most marginalised ones with persistent attention, aid and hope.
On October 16th at 6am GMT/8am EET, Refugee Youth Service and Velos Youth will be holding a 24-hour campaign to raise £10,000 to support their work. Your partnership in this campaign will provide the critical resources needed to track, monitor and support vulnerable unaccompanied minors and young people across Europe, keeping them away from traffickers and exploitative persons, and into new lives and towards brighter futures!
Here is a link to our campaign page, and here’s how you can get involved:
- Share! Send texts, emails, messages, WhatsApp blasts and more to your contacts to let them know we are having a campaign and need their support.
- Give! Whether it’s £18, £180 or £1,800, your gift creates a powerful impact in the lives of vulnerable unaccompanied minors and youth across Europe. The 1st £1000 will be doubled by our match funder!
Jonny, James, Hayley, Stavros, Mustafa, Faridoon, Raia, Faz, Denia, Dana and all of the RYS team
