On Sunday 10th September I will be running the Great North Run for Refugee Action. The current UK government has made it harder than ever for refugees to find legal routes to the UK and have created a humanitarian crisis of their own making to fuel a culture war. Refugee Action’s vision is that refugees and people seeking asylum will be welcome in Britain. They will get justice, live free from poverty and be able to successfully rebuild their lives. Every donation to my page will allow Refugee Action to keep doing what they do best - providing expert support and advice to people seeking safety across the country and fighting for the rights of refugees. The UK should be a welcoming place for people forced to leave their homes, these people should not be vilified. Thank you for supporting me!
