Who is supporting Sanctuary Runners Australia
Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA) and Sanctuary Runners in Ireland are working together to develop Sanctuary Runners Australia. While RCOA is providing administrative support, Sanctuary Runners Australia is a movement of volunteers, open to the involvement of people who support its objectives.
A growing number of Australian organisations are actively supporting the initiative, helping to promote Sanctuary Runners Australia to people who have recently arrived in Australia and to others who believe that running and walking can help to promote community cohesion and well-being.
Participation in Sanctuary Runners is free and the organisation’s famous blue shirts are given at no charge to people who want to be part of the movement, to ensure that no one is excluded. People who wish to give financial support to help the movement grow can make tax-deductible donations to Sanctuary Runners Australia through RCOA.
