I will be running the Hackney Half marathon on 19th May for Art Refuge!

Art Refuge uses art and art therapy to support the mental health and well-being of people displaced due to conflict, persecution, poverty and climate emergency, in the UK and internationally.

They work in the UK and France while we are involved in shorter term projects, exhibitions and research in other settings. They also deliver tailor-made arts-based training, crisis support and skills-sharing workshops.

Art Refuge has a team of artists and art therapists that are equipped to deliver dynamic, culturally relevant and responsive programmes in a wide range of contexts across the UK and internationally. They are skilled at adapting their work to support safe and imaginative spaces for people who have been displaced, including refugees and asylum seekers, both while they are in transit and once they have reached a final destination.

Every donation made will allow Art Refuge to support the mental health and well-being of people displaced due to conflict, persecution, poverty and climate emergency, in the UK and internationally.
