Refuge From The Cold

 

Spread Warmth This Winter

 

As we prepare to heat up our homes and wrap up warm this winter, millions of people around the world will be met with extremely challenging conditions. People experiencing poverty have no means to prepare themselves for the harsh weather that awaits them. Families are unable to stock up on food items, switch on their heaters or even wrap up warm in thermal clothing. They will be forced to sleep without blankets or mattresses during the long dark nights, some in makeshift tents that barely cover them. Over the years, these harsh conditions have tragically resulted in the loss of numerous innocent lives.

 

With 1.1 billion living in poverty worldwide, this winter will bring about fatal challenges. 40% of those living in poverty live in conflict settings, which adds another worry among the extreme challenges they face. It is crucial we do what we can to help those in need survive this winter. GRF is providing winter aid to 12 countries across the globe, to help protect the world’s most vulnerable during this difficult season. You can be a part of this journey and create lasting change. Donate to GRF's winter appeal today.

Gaza Winter Appeal: Provide Life-Saving Aid

People in Gaza are facing devastating conditions this winter. With harsh weather threatening to intensify their situation, millions have been displaced and are at risk of losing their lives without urgent aid. Humanitarian support is critical for those who have nowhere to call home.

You can provide essential aid for as little as £10 for a hot meal, £30 for women and children’s thermal winter clothing sets, and £25 for a 6x4m tarpaulin shelter. These amounts may not even equate to a monthly phone bill for many of us, but in Gaza, they can save the lives of human beings filled with hopes, dreams, and aspirations just like ours. By donating to Gaza, you can create meaningful change in the lives of those in dire need this winter. Donate to Gaza today.

Lebanon Winter Relief: Heating, Blankets & Shelter for Families

Children in Lebanon are facing their sixth year of disrupted education due to ongoing conflicts. Many schools now serve as emergency shelters, offering minimal safety for displaced families. This winter, heating, blankets, and shelter for Lebanon families are urgently needed. Your winter charity donations can bring warmth and hope to vulnerable children and their families.

For just £50, you can provide essential blankets and mattresses to a family in need; £60 supplies a heater with fuel to keep a family warm for a month, and for just £50, you can provide an entire family of six with staple food items for three weeks. While many of us might spend this amount on a dinner with friends, Lebanese families depend on this support for basic survival essentials this winter. Donate to Lebanon and save a life today.

Winter Shelter for Refugees

Heavy snow and harsh winds can easily damage tents, which are the only form of protection for many refugees and displaced people during winter. GRF is providing sturdy tarpaulin shelters which can protect a family of up to 6 people.

For £700, you can help provide a much-needed winter shelter for families in Lebanon, Yemen, Bangladesh (Rohingya Refugees) and Sudan, keeping a roof over their heads and protecting them from extreme winter weather. Your donations for winter relief can bring the essential warmth and security these families need to survive the cold.

Food: A Right, Not a Privilege

Over 700 million people worldwide go hungry despite food being a basic human right. Almost 10% of the world’s population struggles to access food, a reality that becomes even more dire during the winter months. For vulnerable communities and refugees, winter weather disrupts supply chains, affecting food availability. Your donation can make a critical difference.

  • £10 – Provide a hot meal during winter to those in need.
  • £50 – Supply a food parcel to feed a family of six for up to a month.

This amount, which may not even cover a weekly shop for us, provides weeks of sustenance to families who rely on these essentials.

Warmth for Every Family

Several displaced people live in tents, without electricity or heating , facing winter with no real protection from the harsh cold. From as little as £30, your support can provide a fuel-operated heater to bring warmth to a family in need.

Additionally, a donation of £30 can cover a month’s supply of fuel to keep heaters running through the bitter cold, giving families the warmth they urgently need.

Comfort for All

Many displaced people will have no choice but to sleep on the cold floor, with nothing to shield them from the ground. From as little as £25, your donation for winter aid can provide much needed mattresses and blankets to keep vulnerable people around the globe protected during these cold dark nights.

Your donation can help people to rest their aching bodies and provide protection from the harsh weather. Your support brings relief and comfort to vulnerable communities, making a truly meaningful impact in their lives during this difficult season.

Clothing: A Basic Necessity

In winter, thick clothing is essential for staying warm. Many of us can layer up with hats, scarves and gloves to combat the cold, but around the world, vulnerable communities do not have this luxury. Children don’t have woolly scarves and cosy hats, leaving them exposed to the risk of frostbite, respiratory issues and even pneumonia.

From as little as £30, you can provide winter clothing for women and children that will keep them warm. These clothes will serve as a barrier against the harsh weather and will protect from illness.

Sanitation & Hygiene

With many living in overcrowded, enclosed spaces such as camps, the rapid spread of viruses and diseases becomes a significant concern, putting entire communities at risk of illness. In winter, it therefore becomes critical to uphold and maintain sanitation and hygiene to prevent these illnesses.

For just £35, you can provide an essential hygiene kit containing sanitation materials that protect individuals and entire communities from fast-spreading illnesses this winter.
