Just 2 weeks ago a few friends started an appeal and the above picture is the result, so far!

We have had such a MASSIVE response to our initial appeal to collect ADULTS AND CHILDREN'S CLOTHES AND SHOES, that we have now encountered a problem. Local companies have been kind enough to donate vans to help us transport all the donations from where we are based in NORFOLK to the shipping container in MANCHESTER but we need fuel for these vans and this is why WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We would like to ask for JUST £1 DONATION. 

We feel that this has been such a successful appeal because it has involved the whole community. Hundreds of people, coming together to give a little something that they do not need. We would like this philosophy to continue into our fund raising. When people give away a little something that they will not miss they think it doesn't count - BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE! When many people come together, when we all give a little to the same thing, we realise how strong we all are. We realise how much our little something really does count and we realise that we can achieve great things when we all act together! 

We called ourselves FromNRwithlove because we hoped to spread love and care from the Norfolk community.

We were created organically, after an initial idea by Ella King to start collecting children's shoes to send to displaced refugees in Syria, suffering a bitter Winter. 
Robyn Caston and India Hewitt became involved, and after some initial research into all the ways in which we could help, fromNRwithlove was born. 

Our Appeal

We are a group of friends who simply want to make a positive impact on a terrible situation. We have no funding, all our work is entirely voluntary.

In Syria there are 12,2 million people in need, 50% of them are children.  The ongoing freezing weather conditions there have caused fatalities and left hundreds of displaced families without shelter.

The conditions in the camps is diabolical. There have been multiple cases of frost bite amongst children and adults alike. The violent winds have shredded tents and personal belongings lie strewn across the ground, buried under ice and snow or stuck in freezing mud. Children walk through snow and ice without shoes, families do everything they can to keep warm with inadequate clothing. Latest reports from Syria say deaths due to this plight are inevitable. 
Achievements so far...
Although the appeal began just sourcing children's shoes, the response from the local community has been overwhelming. Our campaign has gained some momentum and now we have now been collecting a range of necessities which are in desperate need. We now ask for used (clean) clothes and shoes, as well as other essentials such as blankets and pharmacueticals for both adults and children. 

Our appeal has taken off at such a rate that we now have a whole container to fill which will be shipped to Syria. Donations will be being driven by us and some lovely volunteers on the 9th of February, from our Warehouse in Norwich to the container in Manchester. 

Although at the moment we are concentrating on our Syria appeal, we hope that this is just the beginning for FromNRwithlove. We hope to continue to spread the genorosity and love from our quiet corner of the UK as far and wide as possible!

Any funds we can raise via crowd funding will go toward petrol costs to collect donations from those too far to make our drop off points, and to fuel the vans (which have been donated by local businesses) for the drive to Manchester.
