After the success of the event last year when c. 300 MUFG runners raised over £37,000 for children in emergencies, MUFG are delighted to be committing to “Run in the Dark 2018”.

UNICEF’s campaign to help the European Child Refugee Crisis, which is the largest child refugee crisis since WWII, is MUFG's chosen cause this year.

Refugee and migrant children – some travelling with their families, some alone – risk everything in search of a better life, with many heading for Europe. Millions of uprooted families are fleeing their home to escape conflict, persecution and poverty in countries all over the world.

UNICEF provide a range of services to child refugees, including family reunification, child-friendly spaces, first aid, psychosocial and emotional care, legal counselling, safe spaces for women and children to sleep and outreach social workers.

UNICEF, which is apolitical, will continue our theme of helping the most vulnerable in society: children.

The format is as follows: a 5km run in Battersea Park at 8pm on Weds 14th November, with MUFG teams competing against each other both on running time and fundraising prowess.

Please support the CSTF team and give generously to this fantastic cause. Thanks for your support!
