#RunForRefuge is a team of members and supporters of the Corrymeela community, raising funds to provide support to people who are seeking asylum here in Northern Ireland, building a new life in Belfast.

The Corrymeela Community is committed to overcoming divisions of us and them. Partnering with Redeemer Central, a church in Belfast City Centre, we want to welcome a group of families to Corrymeelas residential centre in Ballycastle this summer. The church links with families who are seeking asylum in Belfast through their Farmbox project which supplies fresh fruit and vegetables to people living in poverty.

The residential will be an opportunity for a weekend away together to relax and connect through crafts, beach walks, music, and other family-friendly activities. It is also about learning how to live together well - sharing hope and a future.

The funds raised by our runners will go towards the costs for bringing the families on this residential weekend.
