I’m excited to share that I’ll be running my first half-marathon (Hackney Half occurring on Sunday 17th of May), for Deutsche Bank’s Charity of the Year, Magic Breakfast.

Hunger may not be a visible issue to all, so I wanted to share some important facts and numbers:

• Approximately 1.8 to 5.4 million children in the UK risk starting their school day hungry or skip breakfast, often due to household food insecurity.

• Around 19% of children under 15 (roughly 1.8 million children) live in households with moderate-to-severe food insecurity.

• Hunger has a significant impact on education, with studies showing that school breakfast programs can improve concentration and academic performance

School breakfast provision can have a dramatic impact on a child’s life outcomes, and that is why I would kindly ask you to donate.

Even with just £10 you can help to give a whole class a nourishing start to their day.

Thank you for the support
