Action Foundation is an award-winning charity based in the North East of England which supports refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants. This year our Winter Appeal is focused on the growing problem of homelessness. You can help the people we house by making a donation today. And what’s more, every pound donated (up to the value of £250) will be match funded by the Aviva Community Fund, so each donation will be doubled. That’s double the donation, double the impact!
