Refuweegee Charity Donation Drive

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.).

– Toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, soap, nappies, toilet roll, toothbrush & toothpaste, deodorant & sanitary or shaving items)

– Stationary

– Rucksacks

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

– Something to read – varying reading abilities so all books are acceptable. Please do consider the content though. Books don’t need to be brand new.

– Colouring books

– Toys that are clean, in full working order with all parts present.

If you would like to get involved, donations can be dropped off by pupils at the following locations:
