My fundraiser for Breaking Barriers

is raising money for Breaking Barriers

Hackney Half Marathon 2026 · 17 May 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

On 17 May a fantastic team of Breaking Barriers supporters and staff will run, in total, almost 80 miles to help refugees find meaningful work. Donate to their half marathon and you'll support people who've faced the unimaginable to build new lives.

Story

Breaking Barriers is a specialist charity helping refugees to find meaningful employment.

Refugees flee their homes in fear from war, persecution, and violence. And more hardship awaits in the UK.

A new country and culture. A different language. Stigma and suspicion. Refugees are four times more likely to be unemployed, and many face these barriers alone.

Thanks to our supporters, Breaking Barriers offers 1-2-1 advice, education and work opportunities to overcome these challenges. Together, we help remarkable people to build new lives.
