Good Green Solidarity

Donation protected
Solidarity with refugee community kitchens!
Please help us raise funds by sponsoring our hitchhike to Greece following the Balkan route travelled by many refugees.  Along the route we will be visiting, volunteering and possibly offering sushi workshops at refugee centres in Calais, Belgrade and Greece. 

Good Green Sushi  is a  social enterprise start up set up by myself, Wayland Goodburn,  and Julian Green, two students at the university of Bristol. We aim to provide delicious vegan sushi whilst supporting and establishing links with local refugee charities through fundraisers and workshops.  This fundraising trip is also partly to explore how we can help communities that support refugees.

The sponsored hitchhike will start in Calais on the 21st of June. Which is where many refugees try to come to the UK meeting harsh treatment with little support at the border. The trip will end in Athens in mid July where many refugees come to at the start of their journey into Europe.
When we reach Athens I will volunteer in the kitchens of a refugee  community centre called Hotel City Plaza where I previously held the first Good Green Sushi workshop two summers ago so is a fitting end.  

The funds raised will be split between the different organisations we are partnering with and will not be put towards the cost of the trip.  The charities in Bristol; Aid Box Community  run a free shop and social centre,  Bristol Hospitality network  provide temporary housing to asylum seekers and refugees and Movable Feast , a catering social enterprise run by volunteers and refugees. We will also be giving funds to the projects that I'll be volunteering and giving free workshops at;  Refugee Community Kitchen in Calais, BelgrAID  in Serbia, Hotel City Plaza  in Athens.

None of the money donated to this Go fund me campaign will be going to the expenses of the trip, all will be donated to the charities above and maybe other kitchens we visit along the way. 

The journey has a planned route through Germany and down through the Balkan route. Throughout the trip I will be aiming to write about the amazing organisations that are supporting refugees on a blog that I will be linking here.
