Thank you for visiting my Bridge Run JustGiving page. I am on a mission to raise funds for the Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants, and I will be running 15 miles across every bridge from Battersea Bridge to Tower Bridge on April 24, 2025.

This cause is urgent. The Islington Centre provides a safe haven for 200 people who have fled war and persecution, offering a sense of belonging, casework, emotional support and English classes to people who have fled war and hardship.

With your help, I aim to raise £500 – enough to support one person like you or me for six months with Support Packages for food and essentials.

As you probably know, my wife, Anna, is the joint Head of Fundraising and Communications at the Centre and fundraising is tough at the moment.

Like so many small charities, the Centre is facing difficult times, but with your help, it can continue to be here, providing support to more than 200 people as they rebuild their lives.

One community member at the Centre said: 'The Islington Centre has been my companion. They have arranged for whatever my baby needs and baby clothes. They give us some money so we can buy what we need. We can buy some food to eat or to travel. From English lessons we learn a lot of things. Whatever you need, you can learn from there. I love this Centre'
