How to Help
How can you help WERS?
WERS offers practical and emotional support to refugees and asylum seekers living in the West End of Newcastle upon Tyne.
An important part of our service is our emergency hardship fund. The fund was originally set up to purchase items which otherwise clients could not afford – shoes, nappies, and dictionaries, for example. Over the last year, however, the fund has become the sole means of support for increasing numbers of clients.
If you feel that you could help us in this way we would ask you to complete the accompanying forms.
- Gift Aid form (which allows us to benefit from an extra 28% on every donation made by a taxpayer).
- Standing Order Information sheet (for WERS giving details of your standing order).
- Banking Standing order (this form you complete and then take to your bank to set up the standing order).
The first two forms should be returned to the WERS office.
A single person is given £10 a week and a food parcel A couple or a family is given £20 a week and a food parcel. A small donation can make a huge difference!
