All donations welcome to empower young refugees as they rebuild their lives.
I’m so excited to take on London Marathon for the first time! 26.2 miles around my home city, home to millions of wonderful people from around the world.
As my second marathon and second fundraiser for Young Roots, every penny goes to:
1:1 Casework supporting young people to resolve the many complex challenges they face in their daily lives.
Youth and sporting activities through which young refugees can build trusted relationships, reducing their social isolation and loneliness.
Mental health support to help heal the trauma and feelings of loss many young refugees experience.
Quality legal advice to help young people navigate the complex immigration and age assessment systems, and to access their rights.
English language mentoring to support young people's social integration and access to education.
