The Big Bounce: Racing Together for Foodbanks

East Lothian Foodbank is taking on the Inflatable 5K in a friendly face-off with Edinburgh Food Project & West Lothian Foodbank — raising vital funds to support our work. We’re bouncing to help people in crisis across East Lothian.

Edinburgh Inflatable 5K 2025 · 30 August 2025 ·

Closes 12/09/2025

We are a local foodbank providing emergency food and practical support to people in their hardest moments. We work with partners and local communities to ensure everyone gets the right help and advice, listening and working together to influence policy towards ending poverty in East Lothian.

Story

Three foodbanks. Thirty obstacles. One Big Bounce.

This August, for the first time ever, East Lothian Foodbank is teaming up with Edinburgh Food Project and West Lothian Foodbank for a fun-filled, fundraising challenge — and we need your support!

The Big Bounce is a brilliant way to come together as a community, have fun, and raise vital funds to support people in need across East Lothian, Edinburgh, and West Lothian.

NOTE: This campaign supports East Lothian Foodbank only.

Separate pages are running for our friends at Edinburgh Food Project and West Lothian Foodbank — so be sure you’re backing the right bounce!

What's happening

This will be the first time our three local foodbanks will come together for fundraising.

Each foodbank will field a team of seven sponsored racers, ready to bounce, slide, swing, and leap their way through an inflatable 5K obstacle course.

It’s all about teamwork, laughter, and community spirit — with a little friendly rivalry — to support those struggling to afford food in our communities.

Why Your Support Matters

Foodbanks do more than just provide emergency food. We support people through crisis, offer advice and guidance, and help them find a path forward.

Every donation made through this campaign will directly benefit East Lothian Foodbank, helping them provide food, support, and hope to those struggling to afford food across East Lothian.

Your generosity will make a real difference in the lives of people who need it most.
