Fundraise for Us

Raise funds to help us support refugees and asylum seekers

Our Fundraisers are our champions. They raise thousands of pounds each year, enabling us to provide specialist support for refugees and asylum seekers in and around Bristol. Their commitment to supporting refugees and asylum seekers inspires us. Would you like to be one of them?

There are so many ways that you could fundraise for us. You could run, cycle, walk, hike or swim. You could organise an event for us, like a bake sale at work, a pub quiz or a raffle. You could ask for donations at special occasions, like your wedding or birthday.

Whatever your idea, we will support you from start to finish. If you would like to talk about your idea with a member of staff please email fundraising@bristolrefugeerights.org. Thank you for thinking of us.

The Great Bristol Half Marathon

Our places for the Great Bristol Half Marathon are now full. If you’re interested in a place for next year (2027), please email and we will let you know when these are available.

Already have a place? If you already have a place in the AJ Bell Bristol Half Marathon then you can still run for us! The easiest way to do this is to set up a fundraising page on JustGiving (click here) or on Enthuse (click here). Please email if you need any support!

Other local running events
