Story
Every year people make dangerous journeys to reach our shore and claim asylum. They have fled conflict and persecution and are desperately seeking safety.
But the system they rely on all too often fails them. Instead of safety and shelter, they can be left hungry and homeless on our streets whilst they wait, sometimes years, to get a decision that in many cases is wrong.
It's unfair and ineffective.
It doesn't have to be this way. We're racing to change the system.
We believe a future is possible where those forced to flee the homes they loved receive compassion, a fair decision, essential support and help to rebuild their lives.
But we need your help ...
The Race for Refugees challenges you to make your move. Help us take action to make the UK a safer and more welcoming place as soon as we can.
Anyone, anywhere can make their move in the Race for Refugees.
You set your own goal. Do as many miles as you like in a day, a week or a month. Do it with friend, family or colleagues. The most important thing is that we move forward together.
