Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our Big Walk 2016 JustGiving page. 

More information about The Big Walk 2016 can be found at

www.sheffield.ac.uk/alumni/donate/specialfunds/big-walk-2016

The Big Walk 2016 combines two key events ­The Trans Pennine Trail and the One Day Walking Challenge. 
2 teams of 10 staff from the University will each be walking over 120 miles from 12- 17 June to Sheffield on the Trans-Pennine Trail, one team from the west coast in Southport and the other from the east coast in Hornsea. They will meet in Tankersley, north of  Sheffield on Day 5.

Team USP will be part of the One Day Challenge team of staff, students,  alumni and friends who will join the TPT teams and walk the 18 miles  back to the University campus  on Friday 17 June. We will be teaming-up with our colleague Liz Sharp, who is heroically taking on the full 5 day challenge. 

Funds raised through the Big Walk will be used to support refugee academics and students at the University, to demonstrate our solidarity with refugees and to show that refugees are welcome at our University and in our city. Our University is a University of Sanctuary and this has  been our tradition since this institution was founded.  

Funds raised through the Big Walk 2016 will be used in the following   ways: 

• Supporting at risk academics: We have strong links with a number of 
programmes to support at-risk academics, including the Institute of  International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund and the Council for At­Risk Academics (CARA) a charity which helps academics in immediate danger, those forced into exile. Through these partnerships, the University of Sheffield can host academics, giving them a place of safety and  the financial and practical help to continue their careers until such as  time as they can return home.  

•Students seeking refuge or asylum: The University offers fully funded  undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships for refugees including  those seeking asylum in the UK. Throughout 2016 we will be raising funds to increase this support.
