Amsterdam Marathon 2024 · 20 October 2024 ·

Refugees at Home connects those with a spare room in their home with refugees and asylum seekers in need of a safe place to stay for a while. Since 2016, we have helped over 7,600 guests, with over 780,000 nights being spent in a safe, warm and welcoming home, instead of sleeping rough.

Story

I'm running a marathon for Refugees At Home and need your help!

In Britain, refugees and asylum seekers were targeted by violent racists this summer. In America, Trump pretends they're eating peoples pets. Refugees At Home are the people bringing the sanity and dignity.

They’re a brilliant charity providing sanctuary to homeless refugees and asylum seekers all around the UK. They've made thousands of placements with generous hosts who have a spare room and who don’t believe the pet eating nonsense. This translates into over half a million nights not spent on the street or riding night buses. If you’d like to consider hosting or volunteering, visit www.refugeesathome.org where you can register.

But in the meantime, I need you to give generously as I run a marathon in Amsterdam next month. I have done some training and I truly believe I could win this thing, if no one else has entered.

Once you donate, Just Giving will send all of your money directly to Refugees At Home.
