Support Pat’s “Run for the STARs”
Our dedicated volunteer Pat is running the London Marathon to help raise money to keep STAR going – please show your support!
We need your support
STAR’s loyal volunteer Pat Scott-Graham is running the London Marathon to raise much needed money to keep us going.
STAR is badly affected by the economic downturn, we’ve sadly had to lose one of the staff team and cut the bursaries we can pay to students.
After April it’s going to get even tougher and we’re all trying hard to find money to keep STAR shining for refugees.
Sponsor Pat
Please sponsor Pat when he runs his first ever marathon on April 17th.
You donation can really help:
£5 …spread positive information about refugees on campus by paying for photocopied leaflets
£20 …teach refugees English by paying for dictionaries for an English class
£60 …give a refugee student a place at STAR conference by funding their bursary
£100 …train and support a STAR student to help refugees for a whole year
£150 …give a voice to a refugee speaker by covering the costs of an event
You can sponsor Pat’s marathon run on his Just Giving Page:
