Hi Val
My email address is – jwallace@aliceadsl.fr. I am happy to take queries from anybody and will liaise with this group but possibly best if people could contact them directly.
I will get an email address and let you have it – or in fact give yours so that they can get in touch.
The groups in Toulouse have quite different needs to the people in the camps in Calais.
Here is a list that was posted on the 29th September on the facebook page of Soutien aux Réfugiés

FOOD
TOILETRIES especially sanitary towels
HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS especially washing powder/liquid
NAPPIES
CHILDRENS SHOES ALL SIZES

Val says gosh new needs for refugees with homes. I am sure there are loads of things in that list that you could donate.
We have a spare microwave, an oil filled radiator, a fridge, loads of rugs, spare tea and dinner plates. I will be busy for a couple of days sorting out stuff. I will contact the group in Toulouse and see how they can pick things up
