Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I run too much and I have decided to put this to some use by raising money for Refugee Women Connect as I take on my first Marathon in Manchester on 3rd April 2022.

Refugees and asylum seekers (and particularly women) face inequality and are often denied social justice and access to support. They have to overcome many barriers to accessing basic services when they have already had to face enormous difficulties and challenges when fleeing conflict and abuse. 

Refugee Women Connect offer practical and emotional support for these women. You can read more about their work here: refugeewomenconnect.org.uk

• A donation of £10 could provide nappies for a refugee baby for one week,
• A donation of £25 could provide a one-to-one information session, with an interpreter, to help an asylum seeking woman understand her rights and entitlements and prepare for her Home Office interview,
• A donation of £100 could provide one-to-one mental health support for a whole month for a woman recovering from trauma.

I am currently training and will post updates as we get closer to the race. Wish me luck!
