A Manchester singer's getting ready to head back to Calais to drum up support and awareness of the refugee crisis.

Alex James has been writing songs to raise money for those living in the squalid conditions in the camps.

The 18-year-old's now teaming up with aid worker Rob Lawrie who was recently taken to court for trying to help a four-year-old escape to the UK.

The pair are planning to deliver shoes to the people living in Calais next month.
