Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I’m training for this year’s Hackney Half Marathon, which takes place on May 18th. I’m running for Hackney Foodbank and would love you to sponsor me if you can.

Demand for Hackney Foodbank has risen by 20% in a year – the charity is currently providing emergency food for around 750 people per week. That’s more than £40,000 worth of food each month. Many of the people supported by the food bank have long term health conditions, others are survivors of domestic violence and many work but simply don’t earn enough to cover the essentials. Most (over 70%) only come to the food bank between one and three times a year. Increasingly, the food bank is working to help people on to better situations. Their caseworkers help visitors access benefits and grants for furniture, heating and more, refer people on to an expert debt advisor and help some into employment.

Please give what you can and help make sure no-one in our community goes hungry.

Thank you!
