Malena's Citizenship fundraiser for Refuweegee

Malena Roche is raising money for Refuweegee

Exam · 16 February 2026

Refuweegee was set up in December 2015 to provide a warm welcome to forcibly displaced people arriving in Glasgow. As a result of the amazing response from people in Glasgow and beyond, we have provided over 5000 community-built, personal welcome packs to people all over Glasgow and across Scotland.

Story

As I prepare to sit my citizenship exam on February 16th, 2026, I am filled with a sense of hope and determination. The cost of citizenship is a significant £1,700, but I am fortunate to have savings that will cover it. However, I want to turn this personal challenge into an opportunity to make a difference.

I have chosen to fundraise this amount and donate it to Refuweegee, an incredible organization dedicated to welcoming refugees into our vibrant city of Glasgow. Their work is vital in creating a supportive community for those who have faced unimaginable hardships. By contributing to this cause, we can help ensure that every refugee feels the same warmth and kind welcome that I received when I decided to start a new life here in Glasgow over 6 years ago.

Please help me spread compassion and make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most. Thank you for your generosity and for sharing this message!
