Walk With Us: Refugee Tales Saturday 22nd April
Date and time
Location
Three Bridges Station
Haslett Avenue East Crawley RH10 1LY United KingdomDescription
Dear Refugee Tales walkers and supporters,
Our next Walk With Us will be on Saturday 22nd April in the Crawley/Worth Area, West Sussex.
The walk is a well-used path starting and finishing at Three Bridges Station. It takes us along the Worth Way and up to Worth Abbey where we will stop for lunch. There are loos and hot drinks available.
We will then do a short circular walk at Worth Abbey which is very attractive before returning to the Worth Way.
The walk is reasonably flat, (I estimate 8 miles).
We will meet at Three Bridges Station at 11.00.
Bring a packed lunch and water.
If you are able to make a donation to support the travel of our guest walkers who are former detainees, that would be welcome. We suggest £5 per walk, or £20 for the year!
Organised by
Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group was set up in 1995 when the UK Immigration Service began to detain people at a small holding centre near Gatwick Airport. The following year, Tinsley House Detention Centre was built, and we became a registered charity. We work to improve the welfare and well-being of people held in detention, by offering friendship and support and advocating for fair treatment.
We are non-party political and do not represent any vested interests. We use our own insight into the experiences of people held in detention to try to improve conditions, inform policy and challenge negative images of people affected by the immigration process, both through our own work and by networking with other organisations who provide support, such as the Association for Visitors to Immigration Detainees (AVID). We are also participating members of the Detention Monitoring Group and Detention Forum.
