    Iʼve raised £765 to help Refugee Community Kitchen provide hot, nourishing meals throughout the winter.

    Funded on Thursday, 10th January 2019

    Story

    I'm doing a triathlon. Great!

    I'll probably get lots of high fives and pats on the back. Hopefully I'll even get a kebab and a pint at the end.

    It's not going to be easy (I really like kebabs), but it's also not the same as, say, travelling 3,000 miles with your entire family just to try and make a life for yourself that doesn't involve being persecuted, tortured or blown up.

    That's why I'm also raising money for Refugee Community Kitchen, who continue to feed thousands of displaced people, without judgement, both abroad and in the UK.

    Despite mainstream media coverage of the situation all but disappearing, RCK have seen numbers of displaced people in the Calais and Dunkirk area triple over the Summer. Most of the new arrivals are families with young children and are often subject to harassment by the police and local authorities. Tents and sleeping bags are routinely confiscated in an effort to stop makeshift camps appearing, but no alternative accommodation is being provided.

    Refugee Community Kitchen urgently need supplies and resources to continue their work over the winter, providing hot, nourishing food and a little dignity to people who desperately need it.

    So please do humour my middle class, mid-life fitness endeavour by donating whatever you can. Thanks!

        I still can't believe you're doing this, and if you are that you're not doing it for something closer to your heart like 'Burritos Eaters Anonymous' .......

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
