Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) fundraising appeal - Support our runners on 12th July!

Several of our clients, volunteers and friends are running in the British 10k London Run on Sunday 12th July 2015. We need to raise some funds to ensure that we can carry on running our day centres. We?re aiming to raise ?5,000 which would help us continue supporting asylum seekers and refugees in Southwark.

Last year, thanks to the help of our friends and supporters?and the energy and sweat of our runners! ?we managed to raise nearly ?2,000 which was great.

If you think the work we do is important and would like to see us be able to continue, please consider making a donation by logging on to our JustGiving page here.

And tell all your friends! Remember, the more we raise the faster we run!

About us:

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) seeks to help relieve poverty and distress, and to promote health and further education for asylum seekers and refugees. We aim to provide a wide range of holistic services which support, promote and secure the rights of asylum seekers and refugees in the London Borough of Southwark.

We strive to provide support services and a safe and welcoming environment through day centre provision, to help meet the needs of local asylum seekers. Through general advice and help we hope to facilitate access to a range of mainstream services, with particular emphasis on health, housing, employment, training, education and asylum issues. The sociable atmosphere of the day centres provides our clients with the opportunity to build their own social networks, which reduces the level of isolation so often felt in this disenfranchised group.
