My name is Anna Brown. I very much like adventure and one of my oldest dreams has been to swim the English Channel. Like most people I am constantly moved to see how many desperate people have to make this dangerous crossing as they seek to find refuge. As I planned this swim I spent a lot of time researching how I could combine my small effort with the fund raising activities of Safe Passage, a charity dedicated to protecting unaccompanied children who are extremely vulnerable.

Every year thousands of these child refugees arrive in Europe in search of safety. They find themselves stuck in squalid camps or sleeping rough on city streets unaware of their legal right to travel safely through Europe.

We are hoping, with your help, to raise money to help child refugees access their rights by supporting the charity Safe Passage: https://www.safepassage.org.uk
