Story

Rich and I are going to to the Exmoor Open Water 2km Swim on Saturday 30th September. This is a huge thing for me as I have only recently learnt to swim front crawl and still feel rather anxious with my breathing and claustrophobic in the water....eek! Hence Rich is going to swim with me as moral support. I would love you to sponsor us as we are raising funds to resettle a Syrian refugee family in our village. The aim is to give one family in need the same chance of peace, freedom and security that we enjoy. It has been so awful seeing what is happening in Syria and imagining how we would feel if it was our family and our children living in a refugee camp. It feels wonderful to be doing something, even if it is small to help. Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

About the charity

We are a group of local volunteers, working together to welcome a refugee family into our community. Our aim is to provide the type of friendship and practical support that anyone would hope to have if they were forced, under such circumstances, to start over in a new and unfamiliar place.
