About

On 12th August 2026, I'm running 12k for Routes! Anyone reading this will know that I'm not a runner, so this is an ambitious goal (especially in the current heatwave) and a new challenge for me. I'd really appreciate your support for this good cause and to ensure Routes can continue its work into the future!

Routes works to achieve a world where those seeking sanctuary in the UK are helped and supported to realise their full potential. They focus on community, solidarity and the belief that everyone, regardless of where they were born, deserves the chance to flourish.

However, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for small organisations like Routes to secure the funding they need to keep their doors open. As we witness hostility towards refugees and asylum seekers intensifying - through rising anti-immigration rhetoric, harsher asylum policies, and growing pressure from the far right, their work has never been more necessary.

“My dream was to study and continue with my education and I tried to do that alone, but I couldn't do that, until I met Routes. They make my dream come true." - Halima, Routes participant

Your support today keeps Routes' programmes running for the women who need them and sustains a community of over 300 women building their futures. Every contribution matters!

Thank you!
