The Standard

A Place To Call Home: Our Winter Appeal with Comic Relief

Listen on

Episode notes

Today marks the launch of The London Standard’s 2024 Winter Appeal, in collaboration with Comic Relief. 

The campaign’s aim is to help organisations in London and across the UK that support refugees and homeless people. 

In this episode we’re joined by our campaigns editor, David Cohen, and CEO of Comic Relief, Samir Patel.

We also hear of Claude's story. One of the organisations we are backing is The Running Charity, which uses the power of running to help both refugees and those who are homeless to build mental health, confidence and fitness — and where Claude now works as programme manager and head coach. The group will be given a grant of £50,000 to assist its work of mentoring more than 120 vulnerable people aged 16 to 25 each year.
