In recent months, there have been a growing number of grass-roots solidarity groups starting around Europe. Ordinary people, horrified by the inaction of their national and European representatives to the growing refugee crisis internationally, have initiated these groups. The most prolific of these groups are the 'Calais-Solidarity' groups. A social work student who was involved in initiating a Calais-Solidarity group in Wales writes this piece. It gives a first-hand account of a recent trip to Calais, undertaken by social work students and activists from this group.
