People leaving Electric Picnic can help the Calais refugees today

After enjoying themselves at Electric Picnic, people can help the refugees at Calais by leaving their tents behind them today.

Revellers will be asked to donate their tents and sleeping mats after the festival by dropping them off at a designated collection points in the campsite or the Global Green area inside the main arena.

As well as that, there will be 70 volunteers around the site today to pick up any tents that have been left behind.

Two separate protests have started calling for the northern section of the migrant camp at Calais to be demolished.
