Emily Roe is raising money for CITIZENS UK
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Hackney Half Marathon 2019 · 19 May 2019 ·

Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse, and most effective people-powered alliance. Together, we make change on the issues that matter, from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign.

Story


I’m sure everyone has seen the horrific images of families drowning at sea and freezing in refugee camps across Europe having fled unimaginable terror in Syria…. Community Sponsorship provides a safe route for a refugee family to resettle in the UK. 

Whitechapel Welcomes is a Community Sponsorship group, established by some Citizens UK staff members. The group hope to welcome a refugee family to Whitechapel, East London through the Home Office scheme

As part of the commitment to resettle the family, Whitechapel Welcomes needs to raise £12,000. On May 19th 2019 I’ll be running 13.1 miles at the Hackney Half Marathon and I hope to raise some money for the group. Please, please donate if you are able to– it will make a real difference!

Thank you for reading 😊
Xx
