Story

This campaign unites everyone who's supporting Paul Greaves, from Wimbledon School of English, in his 2026 London Marathon run for Breaking Barriers.

Paul is passionate about running, and he's taken on many challenges before. But this is the first time he's run for charity, and we know he's passionate about the cause too!

Refugees flee war, persecution or violence. They often leave behind not just their homes, but their families and their careers. They've faced the unimaginable, and then they face huge barriers to starting again in the UK.

Paul has seen first-hand how transformative it can be for refugees to gain the English language tuition and qualifications they need to enter university or requalify in their chosen profession.

And every pound donated to TEAM PAUL will help more refugees access the language support, one-to-one employment guidance or workplace opportunities they need to build new lives.

We know Paul has a fantastic community behind him - both at Wimbledon School of English and beyond. Everyone at Breaking Barriers is excited to see you come together to help more refugees to find meaningful employment, independence, and hope.
