Why Fundraise for ASSIST?
Across the UK, hostility towards people seeking sanctuary and migrants is rising. By running and fundraising for ASSIST, you are taking a powerful stand - even a run - in solidarity.
All donations go directly to our clients, supporting those who are destitute and among the most marginalised in our community. Funds help provide:
- Vital weekly cash assistance for food and essential living needs.
- Bus passes that provide travel and access to medical and legal appointments.
- Stability and hope for individuals seeking sanctuary to rebuild their lives with dignity.
This is the impact you have on the people we support:
I felt back to normal… I felt able to live a normal life… when you live on the streets, you can’t wash your clothes, you can’t make your food…it’s no life. - Client
Not Running? You Can Still Make a Difference

Cheer on our team on Sunday 28th September, and help us show that Sheffield stands with people seeking sanctuary and all migrants, making our city a place of welcome and compassion.
