Hope for the Young
"Join Hope for the Young and Run for Charity to help young refugees access education and support. Choose your challenge. Every mile helps rebuild a life. "
We are a dedicated community of mentors, staff, and young people committed to supporting young refugees as they rebuild their lives in the UK. We believe every young person seeking sanctuary deserves access to education, opportunities, and the support they need to reach their full potential.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Run for Charity, an organisation that connects charities to incredible challenge events across the UK and beyond. Through this exciting partnership, you can choose a challenge - walk, run, cycle, or hike - at any distance that suits you! We'll support you with a fundraising page and tips to help you hit your target.
Every challenge completed throughout the year helps support young refugees and asylum seekers who have arrived in the UK having fled war, conflict, and persecution. Once in the UK, many face isolation, language barriers, poor mental health, and long waits for asylum decisions, leaving them in limbo, unable to work or study, and struggling to rebuild their lives.
Whether you go 1 mile or 100, every step you take and every pound you raise will help provide the education, one-to-one mentoring, and advocacy support they need to settle into their communities and thrive.
