Juliet Stevenson Appeals For Us to Help Refugees in Calais

Actor Juliet Stevenson went to The Jungle for a day and came back with this plea for us to help and for our governments to do more.

Part 2 is a longer 12 minute version of this video.

How you can help in Calais

1. Money. These organisations will spend money well:

   Wanna Help in Calais (Sophie Besse's building project)
   The Amazon Wish List (Buy what 'lauberge' thinks is needed, 1-click purchasable on Amazon)
