Carmen's fundraiser for Refuweegee

Carmen Paddock is raising money for Refuweegee

Belfast City Marathon · 3 May 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Refuweegee was set up in December 2015 to provide a warm welcome to forcibly displaced people arriving in Glasgow. With kindness and dignity at our core, we run a free-shop and Welcome Centre visited by over 1,000 people every week. We support, advise and signpost, offering friendship and safety.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm running the 2026 Belfast City Marathon - my second marathon - to raise money for Refuweegie. I'm so excited to go back to Belfast again (and see lots of the city on foot!); it's a city I fell in love with almost as much as my current home city of Glasgow, where I've lived for four years.

I'm currently on my way to settling in the UK after a very long visa process, and I want to help those who have ended up in the amazing city I call home without the same support and resources I've had. Refuweegie does incredible work welcoming new Glaswegians; please support my running and their work with a donation.
