Jess and Suze run 10k for Room to Heal!
Fundraising for Room to Heal
Story
Where the money you raise could go:
£1,450 would pay for all therapeutic and casework support for a torture survivor for a year, enabling a member to take great steps towards rebuilding their life in exile
£150 pays for a group therapy session for up to ten members to deal with the legacy of torture
£40 pays for a community meal after a group gardening session - so that our members can come out of isolation and find enjoyment in life again
£20 pays for an hour one-to-one casework appointment, to help someone avoid homelessness or find a lawyer
£5 pays for a member to travel to a therapy or casework session
Hello all,
We've been training for our first 10k on 4 February! We've both been working and volunteering at Room to Heal, a wonderful grassroots therapeutic organisation supporting survivors of torture, trafficking and organised violence.
At Room to Heal, survivors of torture can rebuild trust in their lives again despite having experienced the worst of human cruelty, and who continue to live with extreme deprivation in the UK.
Please help us raise money for this wonderful community and our efforts to train in the cold.
Thank you all so much.

'I was a dead soul in a living body, Room to Heal gave me back hope in life.'
Room to Heal provides therapeutic and material assistance to refugees and asylum seekers. Since 2007, we have developed a holistic assistance model shaped by the needs of those we have helped. We offer long-term support, tailored to each individual’s need and aspiration, standing by our beneficiaries as they rebuild their lives and integrate in a meaningful way. Our approach focuses on human connection. We offer people a place of belonging, helping them withstand the many challenges they face.
Our community, based in Islington, is composed of people from 30 countries, of all ages and religions, united by a common belief in humanity and respect for human rights. We are a small, grassroots charity operating in a difficult funding environment and are seeking to raise £30k for 2018 to continue our vital work.
We sincerely thank you for any support you can offer.
