AN aid collection for refugees will take place today at St Thomas-on-The Bourne between 4pm and 7pm.

The June 22 collection by Farnham Help for Refugees coincides with Refugee Week and - as well as much needed medical supplies, baby items and toiletries - summer clothes, new underwear and socks for adults and children are needed.

Items will be distributed to those in need in Calais and, in partnership with a High Wycombe-based group, Syria. There will also be an opportunity to donate money towards shipping items directly to Lesvos, an island with growing numbers of refugees living in overcrowded conditions.
