Clusters of mobile phones connected to a maze of charging cables emerging from multi sockets in Brigitte Lipp s garage are evidence that migrants are welcome here.
Allowing a top-up of phone or GPS tracker batteries is a lifesaver for migrants biding their time in the French coastal city of Calais, desperate for opportunities to make it across the Channel to Britain.
Lipp also throws in knitting needles, soup, toothbrushes and even brand new shirts for those who need them.
