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!
