Story

Crossing Over Water is a fundraising event in which you can choose your own method of crossing water to take part, from walking across bridges to kayaking!

Each year millions of people make journeys across water. For most of us this passage is safe however for many it is not. Every day, those fleeing persecution and conflict need to make perilous journeys to seek safety.

This year, as a way to stand with people who need to make dangerous journeys, Freedom from Torture North London Supporters Group, is hosting a fundraising challenge.

For more details, check out the guidance booklet the group have put together using the link - https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5a57yh0krnppgv/Guidance%20Booklet.pdf?dl=0

Needing some inspiration? Some of the wonderful challenges being taken on include: Kayaking between the Brighton Piers, and walking across London bridges.

Freedom from Torture is a charity, which for 30 years has provided therapeutic, medical and legal support for survivors of torture. https://www.freedomfromtorture.org/
