Where will the money I raise go?
All the money you raise will go directly towards supporting destitute refugees in the UK.
JRS UK provides food, clothing, and other essentials like mobile phone top-ups, nappies, and sanitary products. We also provide accommodation, advice, and legal support to help people navigate the asylum system.
We serve refugees of all faiths and none from more than eighty countries, who are banned from working and unable to access government asylum support.
JRS UK relies upon the donations and fundraising efforts of our amazing supporters to continue accompanying refugees in an increasingly difficult environment.
Run for refugees with JRS UK at the Hackney Half and experience the east end of London like never before. Enjoy a real festival atmosphere with DJs and performers along the route!
Your £370 fundraising target could help us deliver
- Essential toiletries for 23 of our refugee friends for the month
