This May I will be running 13.1 miles to raise money in support of Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID). BID is an independent charity dedicated to fighting the injustice of immigration detention. Their work is a vital part of the fight against a cruel and inhumane immigration system.

Since 1999 BID have supported over 46,000 people to get out of immigration detention and have borne witness to and evidenced many gross abuses of state power.

In the UK the Home Office have the power to lock people up indefinitely, without trial for the purpose of immigration control. However as evidenced by the Windrush Scandal, they have a history of terrible decision making with horrific consequences; paying millions in compensation each year for those who are wrongly detained.

BID exists to challenge immigration detention and increase access to justice for immigration detainees facing deportation through the provision of legal advice, information and representation alongside research, policy and advocacy and strategic litigation.

Please donate to help BID continue to provide free legal advice and representation to people in detention in the UK.

Thank you!
