[6][7][8] As a result of the press coverage, many people contacted Freeman wanting to help, and so a group of individuals nationwide was created, where aid was collected in local drops and delivered to Calais, Hungary and the Greek Islands.
[10] Following the huge public response, over 8,000 square feet of aid was collected and sent from the Calais Action warehouse in London to Northern France, Hungary, and the Greek Islands.
Volunteers from Calais Action appeared in TV and radio coverage of the event, correcting essential details and misinformation (such as the idea that all inhabitants had been evacuated before the fire).
This footage was also used as part of the documentary Calais Children: A Case to Answer, which was shot during demolitions, covering the plight of minors left stranded by the authorities.
Calais Action continues to send aid to Europe and raise awareness of refugees and the necessity for safe and legal routes to asylum.
