CARE4CALAIS has been presented with a prestigious Special Civic Award by Wands-worth Council in recognition of the incredible support its volunteers give to refugees in South-west London.
Seema Khan and Carey Sedgwick, of Care4Calais’ South-west London group,
accepted the award from Wandsworth Mayor Cllr Juliana Annan at a special ceremony in Wandsworth Town Hall. The judges said the award was given ‘in recognition of those who have ‘provided outstanding contribution by improving the lives of others’.
Judges praised the group for understanding what is needed to improve the quality of life of people seeking sanctuary, and working to build their confidence in belonging to their new community.
The judges said: “We know how Seema, Carey and their team go many ex-
tra miles to help people in their area, and over the years they have collectively made an incalculable difference to many people’s lives.
“To everyone at Care4Calais South-west London – thank you.”
