Serving hot, sweet tea to people on the move gives the message of welcome, love and solidarity in every language
Big thank you to Ahmad Tea UK for this huge donation of teas, which have kept our tea service going over the last weeks, on all our distributions in Calais and Dunkirk.
Donate if you can every penny helps!
We have watched in horror as over one million refugees have been forced to escape the attacks on Ukraine, joining the millions of displaced people fleeing war and seeking refuge across the world. We stand in solidarity with all those forced to leave family, homes and the familiar. Trying to find a place of safety in the unknown should not be a starting point for anyone.
We call for safe passage and support for all in trying to reach the UK.

February is well underway but we're still dreaming of the January calendar recipe by the wonderful Michelin-starred Giorgio Locatelli! His delicious Potato and Kale Bake was the perfect side or an indulgent dinner on its own - order one of our 2022 Calendars for this and 11 more great recipes from the RCK kitchens!
Try out our sauces, curries and salads for fresh flavours, new tastes and soon-to-be favourites!
Each calendar pays for 32 hot meals, served with love and respect
2021 has had its challenges, but we've also been lucky enough to be kept going by supporters, volunteers and donaters. in France we met Amal, we faced blocked distribution sites and we served over 250,000 meals. In the UK, new kitchens were set up, outreach posts added and we gained some incredible volunteers! All of this wouldn't have been possible without the support of the RCK Family - from individuals to groups to companies - Calais Light, Blandford CARES - Calais Aid, Refugees, Europe & Sudan, HertsforRefugees, Giorgio Locatelli, Andi Oliver, Migrate, CamCRAG, The Felix Project, Black Activists Rising Against Cuts. (BARAC), Abdul Saboor, The Rum Shack, thank you all and everyone we couldn't tag - you make it all possible.
Our new outreach kitchen in London is ready to go!
Just before Christmas we had to uproot for our home in Camden and start fresh in a new building, all within a few days.
Thanks to the help of a dedicated team we managed it and were back serving without missing a day - check out co-founder Paula's guided tour to see the new site!
We still have work to do though and still need your help - please donate what you can and help us serve those who need us as the temperatures drop.
