Get moving for change and take part in the BIG WALK FOR REFUGEES next month!
–We invite you to join our team at BASP to walk for kindness and a fair go for asylum seekers and refugees–
Why?
BASP is getting behind the BW4R because we want to help raise awareness about the situation of many refugees and asylum seekers in our country – especially the fact that there are thousands of people in our communities still waiting for permanent visas after 13 years.
How does it work?
You can walk, run, cycle, scoot, swim or skip – whatever takes your fancy. You may want to team up with friends, family, workmates or a local group, or do it on your own.
With an App on your phone or via the Big Walk website – you can then record all those steps or laps and make them count towards a virtual loop of Australia, connecting Indonesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea and Christmas Island.
How to join the BASP team on the Big Walk 4 Refugees
Start by going to the website www.bigwalk4refugees.au and choose the drop-down menu ‘Registration’. (There’s lots more information here about the Big Walk).
You’ll be taken straight to the ‘Checkout’ where you enter your name, email and phone number through Humantix. The next step ‘Continue to Ticket Info’ is where you can select the team you want to join. Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project is near the end of the list, so you need to scroll right down.
After choosing your team, you can click Continue to Payment. All the profits from the registration fees go to a refugee charity.
Register NOW to make your steps count between Sunday 1 June and Monday 30 June.
