Last month, I joined a group from Dulwich and West Norwood to visit the charity Help Refugees, working in Calais. It is shocking to see the conditions in which hundreds of refugees are living, less than a three hour drive from London.

Thank you to everyone who donated tents, blankets and clothing which were gratefully received by the charity for distribution to the hundreds of refugees sleeping rough in appalling conditions on the outskirts of Calais. There is much more that the UK government can and should be doing to help.
