As of the end of June 2025, 117.3 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes around the world due to persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations (UNHCR).

Therefore, as we are embarking on a fundraising challenge centering this number to both raise vital funds for our partner NGOs, but also to raise awareness about the scale of people who are experiencing displacement and seeking refuge around the world.

Our >40 Regional Teams will be participating through a range of creative challenges - see below for details, and we are grateful for any support!

All funds raised will support legal and psychological aid for refugees through our eight partner NGOs - for more details see www.solidaritee.org.uk
