MUMS at a Kendal church are appealing for summer clothes to help refugees in the Middle East.


Rebecca Holliday, Emily Rowe are Justine Yarker have set up a collection point at St Thomas's Church, Windermere Road, and they would also love to hear from anyone who has time to help pack up the boxes.


Donations of excellent-quality items would be welcomed by Sunday, May 17, including:


- baby and children's clothes


- men's clothes (shorts to be knee length)


- women's clothes (no shorts, short skirts or sleeveless tops - short sleeves are fine)


- new underwear


- shoes and clean wellies


- light cotton blankets


- sheets and towels


- wheelchairs, walking frames and pairs of crutches.


Donations towards shipping costs would also be appreciated.
The project is part of Samara's Aid Appeal, set up by a mum in Brighton after reading about refugees' plight in Iraq and Syria.
