Refuweegee (ref-u-wee-gee) is a Glasgow-based charity set up in 2015 to provide a warm welcome to forcibly displaced people arriving in the city. To this date, they have provided over 10,000 community-built, personal welcome packs and emergency support packs to people all over Glasgow and across Scotland.
Williamwood’s Refugee Ambassador group are supporting the Science Department in a whole school donation drive for this charity, much in need now more than ever.
The charity are in need of the following:
– Non-perishable foods (rice, pasta, tea, coffee, UHT milk, tinned tomatoes, vegetarian soup, beans, tinned vegetables, pasta sauce, tuna, biscuits, juice etc.).

– Stationary
– Rucksacks
– Hat, gloves & scarf (2 of the 3 would be ideal)
