Story

''I went from being destitute and living in emergency accommodation, to getting a qualification with Caritas and now succeeding in my university course.'' Musaab former student Caritas Refugee Education helps asylum seekers and refugees, who have fled their countries, make Manchester their new home. We do this by providing high quality language lessons, delivered in a welcoming community environment, mentoring into further education and employment, and wrap-around wellbeing services. In this year of great challenge/need, we are asking you to walk, run, cycle (or anything else!) in the shoes of one of our students: Mohamed, Musaab, Biko or Fatima who travelled, often by foot, from their war-torn countries to the U.K. in search of a safe home and future for their family. This is a chance to do something active, after the many lockdowns and Netflix binge sessions of 2020, and help raise money for people in greatest need. Thank you for your support!
