Around the World in 80 Ways

On the 15th of June, to kick off Refugee Week, we will be launching our new fundraising campaign 'Around the World in 80 Ways'.

How does this work? In lots of wonderful ways!

Over 80 days, get friends and family to sponsor you to complete your chosen amount of miles. 

To make this campaign as inclusive as possible, we would love participants to take part in any way they see fit. This could be: running, cycling, swimming, you could flip a ball for however many hours, or decide to score a certain amount of goals within the next 80 days. If you have any other ideas, we'd love to hear from you!

Whatever you decide to do, we'll add up the miles, convert time to distance, and, ultimately, see how far the Oasis community can get around the world!

Finishing on the 3rd of September, we're hoping to get as many people involved in raising essential funds to support people seeking sanctuary in Cardiff. 

How can you fundraise?

Like the Cardiff Half, participants can set up their own fundraising pages (useful examples listed below).

You can join the Oasis Strava group here to track your progress.

Are you a School of Sanctuary and want to get involved? We'd love to hear from you.

Charlotte's Kilimanjaro Story:

Louisa's Fundraising Story: 

I feel that as a small Cardiff charity, you're doing vital work building really strong relationships within my own community and this has a massive positive impact close to home. I was really drawn to the 'warm Welsh welcome' ethos of what you do! 

I work part-time for a Work-Based Learning training provider that focuses on supporting people in work, apprenticeships, and employability skills. The fact that you're keen to learn and be inspired by the cultures and traditions you are exposed to by your clients is close to my heart, having worked with a number of BIPOC and asylum seekers myself in my role as a trainer in work-based learning.

The help you provide in encouraging community integration, women-only sessions, supper clubs and so much more is making Cardiff a much better place. With your help, Cardiff will be a city of acceptance and one where everyone is welcome, loved, and valued.

Also, the girls who I have been in touch with while I did my fundraising have been so helpful with my fundraising project and this really inspired me and spurred me on!"

Louisa owns her own business (Baked By Lou) and has supported us by selling her items and using Work for Good to donate a percentage of her earnings to us. She also donated us a handmade item for our online auction fundraiser during COVID-19. 

   

We are so grateful to anyone and everyone who has taken the time and effort to fundraise for us.
