From 1 to 5 July 2017, Refugee Tales will walk from Runnymede to Westminster stopping at Walton, Kingston, Brentford and Hammersmith. We still call for the practice of indefinite immigration detention to end. At every stop of the way leading writers  will help tell the tales of asylum seekers, refugees and detainees, as well as the stories of those who work with them. As the project walks it will create a space in which the language of welcome is the prevailing discourse, a political carnival in which the act of listening is a common resource.

Since Refugee Tales walked first time the debate around human movement has fluctuated dramatically, as pressure for a change of policy on indefinite detention has continued to build. It is a cruel and debilitating practice that continues to do untold damage to tens of thousands of lives.

I have the privilege of joining this wonderful group and will be recording the various voices/stories/performances along the way. 

Please help me to raise funds for former detainee guest walkers to travel from all over the UK to join the walk, to have sleeping bags, mattresses, waterproof clothing and to have free places as part of the walking community and attending the evening events.
