Choose Love: Show support for Afghan refugees, even the smallest actions can make a difference

The charity Choose Love works with people fleeing war, persecution & climate change. They are currently running an urgent fundraiser to support Afghan refugees.

If you’re new to our work, here’s a little about us:

We support over 150 grassroots and community-led refugee organisations around the world - providing rescue, emergency aid, psychological support and the tools people need to rebuild their lives in safety. We’re all about challenging hostility and providing the vital aid and services that all people deserve.”

To find out more about their incredible work, have a look at their website and Instagram and find out how to help.
