Story

Everyone deserves safety. But for far too many refugees, safety is the last thing they find when they arrive in the UK.

Can you imagine being forced from your home because you are no longer safe there, and making the dangerous journey to Britain? You might be hoping to be reunited with family, or excited to build a new life for yourself somewhere where you already speak the language. After everything you've survived, you deserve support, kindness and respect.

But instead you are threatened with deportation. Or you are left facing years of waiting to hear back about your asylum claim, banned from working, and living in squalid accommodation and poverty.

Refugees deserve better than this.

Run, walk, cycle, swim, or get creative. You decide how you will Race for Refugees. Be a part of the fight for a fairer future for refugees and people seeking safety.

The money you raise will power our frontline services and fuel our campaigns. At Refugee Action, we've been standing up for refugees since 1981, and our work is needed now more than ever. Whether you lace up your running shoes, dust of your bike or pull on your swimming cap, every step you make in your Race for Refugees will give hope and fight for change.

It's people like you that keep us going. Thank you for being a part of the Race for Refugees team, and happy racing!
