Columba Walk for Friends without Borders, 31 January 2018
We help asylum seekers, refugees to survive and prosper in Portsmouth

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I completed the walk from St Columba Church Fareham to St Columba Church central London. I left Fareham on 3 June and arrived in London on 10 June. 

I'm raising money for Friends without Borders work supporting refugees and asylum seekers in Portsmouth. For more information about this work please go to: www.friendswithoutborders.org.uk 

Despite what some sections of the media claim, many asylum seekers are destitute. Being forbidden to work deprives them not only of funds to support themselves but also of dignity and self-esteem. 

Your sponsorship of my walk will go to provide some food, comfort, human companionship at an otherwise bleak time in people's lives. Please help if you can.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
