Week 48 - Refugee Action

My friend Sofia is a week away from the end of a month-long sugar famine in aid of Refugee Action.  As someone who has cut out a lot of sugar (but never actually managed to go more than two weeks without any sugar or alcohol) I know how beneficial but frustrating it is (try buying any processed food without added sugar, it's almost impossible!).

Throughout this project the plight of refugees - particularly from Syria - has been ever present in the news.  Refugee Action have been working with refugees for thirty years, helping them establish new lives in the UK.  The majority of asylum seekers arrive with little understanding of the process and Refugee Action provides support and advice to aid them.  They also campaign for justice for refugees, working with legal advisors to help them better understand the needs of asylum seekers.

Their work is absolutely vital right now in a time where millions are being displaced from their homes and running from war and persecution.  Refugee Action helps to make these refugee's a more promising future.
