Over the next month Sophie is careering through TWO marathons in her buggy. That’s at least 52.438 miles.
Sophie would be THRILLED if you sponsor her as she is really worried about people going hungry, but isn’t big enough to do anything about it yet. If you donate, she might even give you a clap.
Demand for the local volunteer-run Tottenham Foodbank has gone up 100% since March 2020 and they need £100k to cope.
A bit more info on the Foodbank:
Tottenham Foodbank helps individuals and families in crisis through the provision of emergency food supplies. The circumstances surrounding a crisis are unique to every individual, so we partner with frontline care professionals, such as health visitors, social workers and other community-based support workers, who are able to identify and refer people facing hunger to the foodbank. As well as receiving nutritionally-balanced 3 day food parcels, people are welcomed with a cup of tea, listened to and signposted to agencies that are able to help resolve the underlying cause of the problem.Our foodbank was created through a partnership between Freedoms Ark Church and Crutch Haringey, in conjunction with the Trussell Trust.
The Trussell Trusts UK foodbank network will create a UK with no need for food banks. last year it collected more than 10,000 tonnes of food and gave over 1,084,604 three days food supplies to people in crisis of which over 396,000 went to children.For more info and for other ways to donate, please visit https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/tottenham-foodbank
