This September, OUWPC are #MakingYourMiles count. As a team of both current members and Alumni we will be traveling the length of a refugees journey from Izmir to Dubrovnik (555miles), raising sponsorship and showing the UK that every refugee matters.

Will you sponsor us? Together we can help the British Red Cross to support refugees in the UK.

While refugees adjust to life in the UK they need help in a number of ways – from providing emergency provisions for those facing severe hardship, to giving orientation support and friendly advice to those settling into an unfamiliar place. Through Miles for Refugees, every mile we swim during September will help support some of the most vulnerable people in the UK.

Last year the Red Cross supported over 36,000 refugees, asylum seekers, vulnerable migrants and their dependants. Your sponsorship can help many more – thank you.
