I've now worked for Bristol Refugee Rights for over 4 years and thoroughly enjoy the challenges, opportunities and the wonderful community that is BRR!
I started running about this time last year, inspired by family, friends and 'Run Like a Girl' book and managed to get round the Cancer Research 10k course last July.
It's a New Year, New Start needing new challenges thing, but also to raise money for this wonderful charity. My aim is to raise £500. To give you some idea of what some amounts can pay for:
£12 - access to all BRR services for 1 member for 1 day
£50 - support 5 destitute asylum seekers with hardship payments for a week
£100 - refreshments, including lunch for a week
£250 - set up a public meting to raise awareness of asylum issues
