Hi! I'm Dan and I've entered the London to Brighton bike ride to raise funds for Migrant Help

Actually, that's not quite accurate....I originally entered purely for fun! But, when I noticed that the event is taking place during Refugee Week, I got to thinking it's the perfect opportunity to raise both awareness and funds for a cause I care deeply about.

My job involves helping new refugees start their new lives in the UK after a successful asylum claim. It's by no means an easy process - made all the more difficult by language barriers, the housing crisis and a society that isn't as welcoming as I would like it to be.

Migrant Help are a charity that offer a range of fantastic services to people that have sought sanctuary in the UK. Your donation will help fund their amazing work - from the provision of specialist support to victims of modern slavery to simple acts of kindness, like ensuring that children in the asylum system get a present at Christmas time.

Thank you for your support :)
