Working to provide help, justice & the relief of suffering for refugees

We are a group of people from Faversham and nearby villages who work for justice & the relief of suffering for women, men & children who, forced from their homes, seek refuge from war, oppression, poverty & climate catastrophe.

Our Activities

We are proud to provide help to refugees however we can.

Our activities include:

Collecting Donations

Collecting donations of money, food, clothes and more for people in the camps of Calais, Dunkirk and beyond.

Continuous Support For Volunteers

Supporting those among us who go to volunteer with the humanitarian relief and solidarity efforts in France, Greece and elsewhere.

Creating Opportunities

Creating opportunities, such as market stall days, to talk with our fellow townspeople and villagers about the crisis facing displaced people.

Lobbying

Lobbying those in power to do more to alleviate the suffering of displaced people making perilous journeys and to support and welcome those in the UK as they try to rebuild their lives here.

And More

We are always open to suggestions for other activities, and we welcome your ideas. Contact us if you would like to get involved.

Upcoming Events

As well as our regular stall in Faversham Market, we often host other events and meetings.

Refugee Week Community Superheroes With St Ethelbert’s School

FVRSG has been working with the children of St Ethelbert’s School to produce some amazing art on the subject of Community Superheroes.

The main theme of this year’s Refugee Week is Community is a Superpower, and the children have been thinking about what makes a local hero.

Creek Creative will be displaying the fantastic work throughout Refugee Week. Come and take a look!

16th – 21st June 2025 @ Creek Creative
