Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We will be running a half marathon in May 2023 to support the organisation, Bristol Refugee Rights. The current climate is particularly troubling for the asylum sector and we are amazed at the work the organisation BRR does to empower, advocate and sustainably provide stability for asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in the UK.

A statement from BRR: 

At Bristol Refugee Rights, we envision a society where refugees, people seeking asylum and migrants are welcomed, feel safe, live free of poverty and are able to positively build their lives. A society where everyone’s rights and entitlements are respected. A society that prioritises care, compassion and support for the most vulnerable.

BRR is a service delivery organisation but also works to achieve systemic change. We offer our service users holistic support and high-level asylum and entitlements advice, as well as community and compassion. While we are not a law-based organisation, we do advocate on behalf of our members to the HO, council, NHS, lawyers and other organisations in order to make sure they are receiving the right amount of care, support and entitlements.
