About

Refugees travel hundreds, if not thousands, of kilometres to escape war, conflict or persecution in their countries. At Leeds Beckett STAR (Student Action for Refugees), we are aiming to collectively travel the equivalent of the distance from Leeds Beckett University to the refugee camps in Calais. From the 15th February, our members will have a week to walk, run, cycle (or even swim!) the length of the 463km journey. If we reach our target sooner than expected, we will keep going to another refugee camp so we will be pushing hard to travel as far as possible! We will be raising funds for PAFRAS (Positive Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers), a charity working within Leeds to provide emergency support to refugees and asylum seekers. PAFRAS works within the community to provide everything from food parcels, to advice and financial support. We appreciate any donation, large or small, whatever you are able to contribute will make a difference. PAFRAS will receive 100% of the donations. Thank you for your support!
