Thank you for Joining the Movement to Support Indigo Volunteers
Since 2017, we have been working tirelessly, placing over 4,500 volunteers across 11 countries, helping provide food and shelter to thousands of displaced people along the European migration route.
And while we’re committed to getting vital helpers to projects - all fee-free - we need to cover our own running costs.
Help us raise funds to continue providing vital support to refugees.

You too could be a "Refugee"
A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee their home due to conflict, persecution, or disaster. Being a refugee is not a choice or something that can only happen to others.
Any one of us could become a refugee;
we are one natural disaster, one national crisis or one act of war away from this harshest reality.
In this hour of heartbreaking need, our shared humanity calls upon us to take action for refugees.
A Rapidly Growing Need Amid Shrinking Resources
While the UN projects that 20% more refugees will need support this year, humanitarian organisations are struggling to get support where it is needed most due to a lack of funding and a shortage of volunteers.
How You Can Help
Indigo’s charity partners are a lifeline to refugees: from distributing clothing and meals to essential medical care, our dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to help vulnerable people find safety, stability, and a sense of home once again.
For every £1 you donate, Indigo will give refugees £23 worth of medical aid, education, integration support, legal assistance, and more by supporting humanitarian charities with responsible volunteers, expertise and resources that help them create a meaningful impact.
By choosing to support Indigo, your donations will help refugees access:
Quality education
for children and adults
Nutritious food & shelter
for all
Safe spaces
for women and children
Legal aid
throughout their journey
Why now is the time to act
We’ve all seen the news.
From the Rwanda Bill to the rise of the nationalist parties in the latest European elections, there is an undeniably growing wave of anti-refugee sentiment sweeping across Europe.
At the same time, the United Nations projects that 20% more refugees will need resettlement support this year compared to 2023. It is more important than ever to stand in solidarity today with those who have been forcibly displaced from their homes.

Our impact is not just numbers
Whilst summarising our impact in numbers makes sense, it's worth looking beyond that.
For every 1 day we worked in 2023, we arranged 89 days worth of volunteering.
This means that every single day, we arranged 89 more days where:
-
refugees had access to clothing, blankets, and shelter.
-
refugees had someone to talk to, and could have their voices heard.
-
children had a safe space to play, and be a child again.
-
pregnant and new mothers could access help.
-
refugees could access showers and wash their clothes.
-
refugees could eat hot, nutritious meals.
-
separated families could stay in touch through wifi centres.
