People seeking asylum in Britain are being failed by the government. They are forced into poverty, unable to work, and left waiting for months, and sometimes years, to find out if they will ever be able to truly live in safety.

Refugee Action has been standing up for refugees since 1981. We have a long history of supporting people seeking safety here in the UK, but we've never seen the situation as bad as it is today.

Refugees have seen the worst of humanity. Now, let's show them the best.

Race for Refugees is a movement of people taking action for what is right. Together, we can make sure that those forced to leave the homes they loved receive compassion, a fair decision, essential support and help to rebuild their lives in the UK.

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. Whether its that bucket-list marathon, a 5k walk with friends or a sponsored cycle with work, your journey will change lives.

With every mile, you will be giving hope to refugees. With every step, you will be racing to change the system.

Thanks to your fundraising, we will be able to keep doing what we do best - providing expert support and advice to people seeking safety across the country and fighting for the rights of refugees.

Together, we can make the UK a more welcoming place for people forced to leave their homes. Thank you for being a part of the Race for Refugees.
