Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I will be running Derby 10k 2024 in support of upbeat communities. Upbeat communities offer a lifeline of community and belonging for refugees rebuilding their lives in the UK. They provide English classes, support groups, community meals, support for families and kids, and much more.

'When you first land in a country, in this situation, it is so hard. Because, one week ago or one month ago you are a normal person, you have a job, you have everything... but suddenly everything goes upside-down. And you are in a country... you cannot work, you can not have friends so easily because you feel different. You feel foreign. But, Upbeat makes you feel like you belong to this place now, and you are okay.'

'For me, Upbeat was a lifesaver. Having a life back home and coming into loneliness, uncertainty and confusion and you find a family called Upbeat. It was like a light'
