Welcome to the fundraising page for #Read22ForRefugees!

We are a group of bookstagrammers who believe every refugee has the right to claim asylum and the chance to live again.

To reach the UK, refugees are forced to travel 22 dangerous miles across the channel. Not only is the journey itself gruelling, but even when they reach the UK they are not guaranteed the safety and support that they desperately need.

That's where Refugee Action step in. They work tirelessly to ensure "people seeking asylum can get justice, live free from poverty and rebuild their lives here in the UK."

Each bookstagrammer has set a personal target around the number 22, which could be anything from reading for 22 minutes a day to reading 22 books during the 22-day challenge. We would love if you would consider sponsoring them to support the vital work of Refugee Action.

Here's what your donation could help to do:

- £10 could provide a family with essential supplies such as blankets, nappies and food from our destitution fund.
- £22 can help someone seeking safety access 1 month's worth of mobile data to keep them connected and learning.
- £100 can help pay for an interpreter to attend five advice sessions and translate for a refugee, helping them to receive informed advice.
- £220 could provide 8 crisis kits for vulnerable people seeking asylum, including food to make at least one decent meal per day, toiletries, and warm clothes.
- £1,000 could cover the project cost of interpreters for one year, ensuring that we provide critical support to help refugees out of destitution and homelessness, in a language they understand.

Thank you so much for supporting us!

Love,
Eve, Martha & the #Read22ForRefugees Team! x
