People across the UK gan together to support the unfortunate souls in Calais.
The UK government has been under fire in the recent weeks throughout the crisis that some are referring to as the biggest Europe has seen since World War Two.
David Cameron, the UK's current Prime Minister has held strong against allowing refugees into the country, although much of the UK population is in uproar about this decision, with petitions filling up social media to allow refugees into the country.
Following the tragic event where a young child washed up on the coast David Cameron announced that the government would reconsider they're stand. However any change is yet to be seen.
The rest of the EU is also under fire from Germany's Merkel. So far Germany has been the only country to fully open it's doors to refugees, and demands the EU as a whole follow suit, taking their fair share of the crisis.
Today hundreds of Brits are clearing out their cupboards for shipments going out from across the UK coast, carrying life saving supplies to Calais.
In the Highlands region a ship will be sailing out from Kyle of Lochalsh, taking with it the kindly donated supplies from locals through the area.
These charitable deeds stand in harsh comparison to our Governments lack of initiative and against the groups who have marched the streets of majors city's throughout the UK demanding justice for these poor people.
Many are demanding action, and choosing to take action to help those in government and parliaments across the UK stand and talk about the situation.
In this tragic time we can take comfort that the people of Britain are giving, kind and strong.
