Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers http:///www.sdcas.org.uk The official site of Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers Thu, 24 Jan 2013 17:37:07 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 GO JOE!!! http:///www.sdcas.org.uk/go-joe/ http:///www.sdcas.org.uk/go-joe/#comments Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:03:36 +0000 Martha http://www.sdcas.org.uk/?p=573 Back in August we were contacted by a researcher who wanted to interview SDCAS clients about their experiences of homelessness. He came in, met some clients and liked us so much he decided to run for us!

To be more precise Joe Whitaker is participating in the Run To The Beat half marathon on Sunday 28th October and we’re his chosen charity – yeah! Please show Joe some support by sponsoring him and the work of SDCAS. His JustGiving can be found here.

GO JOE!!!
