Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Sixteen keen members of staff and volunteers from the Bristol Office are currently in training for the 10K on Sunday 9th May to raise money for our destitution fund. The route will take our sprightly team of runners round ’s historic floating harbour and along the Portway by the River Avon. The team consists of those who run regularly and some brave souls who are giving it a go for the first time! All monies raised will go towards buying food and emergency shelter for those who find themselves in desperate need. Please sponsor us - we are hoping to raise £3,000 to support our destitute clients. A small donation will make a big difference to people, who have fled some of the world's worst regimes.
£5 will buy basic food to sustain a destitute client for a day£30 will buy one night’s hostel accommodation
