Story

Hi pals,

On 19 May 2024, I shall be trekking East to run the Hackney Half marathon and I am hoping to raise a quid or two for Bail for Immigration Detainees as I go.

BID offers completely free advice to people in immigration detention in the UK. It’s a little-known fact that there are no limits to how long you can be held in an immigration removal centre for. It is extremely common that people find themselves incarcerated for months on end, with no end date in sight. For a taste of the realities of immigration detention, take a look at Brook House Inquiry report.

BID and it’s exceptional team of volunteers work tirelessly to help people apply for and obtain immigration bail, reuniting them with their families, friends, and freedom.

I would be so grateful for a donation to this exceptional organisation - really any help would be so appreciated. Otherwise, thank you for reading this little spiel and I promise that is the last of half marathons that you’ll hear from me!
