At Voices in Exile, we’re continually moved by the dedication and creativity of our supporters. From dance marathons to community feasts, the people and organisations who rally behind our mission remind us of the power of collective action, compassion, and the incredible impact of community. Read on to learn more about some recent volunteer fundraising activity.
Dancing and fasting for a cause
This past July, we witnessed an extraordinary effort from David Clarke, who pushed his limits with a three-day dance and fasting challenge. David’s commitment exemplifies the personal sacrifices so many are willing to make to support our work. Not only did he raise valuable funds, but he also raised awareness about the needs of people facing exile, offering a powerful reminder of what it means to give back.
A day of music and community
In August, our friends at Cost of Living Events hosted a lively day of music and solidarity at The Gladstone pub. They partnered with Refugee Radio to bring people together, not only raising money but also creating an opportunity for conversation, connection, and community building. Our head of services, Alison, was there to soak up the atmosphere and capture a few moments of the day, which was filled with joy, unity and support for those in need.
A feast to remember
To continue this inspiring summer of fundraising, September saw Goat Grid and Bellewether Spirits come together for a special six-course celebration feast at Goat Grid’s Sussex farm. With their focus on sustainability and community, Goat Grid and Bellewether Spirits share our values, and their generosity helps ensure that we can continue our support for those impacted by exile and displacement.
Young fundraiser goes the extra mile
And last but certainly not least, we’d like to give a huge shoutout to 13-year-old Danny Klein, who raised an incredible £600 by completing a sponsored 5km run just last weekend. Danny’s determination and heart are an inspiration to us all, and his efforts have already made a meaningful impact.
