Across Sheffield, roughly one in four people—including a third of children—live in poverty. Hunger is rarely just about food; it’s tied to crippling debt and financial crisis. That’s why S6 Foodbank doesn't just provide emergency food parcels—their dedicated debt advice work has helped local families clear hundreds of thousands of pounds in debt, giving people a real way forward.

With Christmas getting closer, this support is needed now more than ever. Winter is a terrifying time for families struggling to choose between keeping the heating on or putting food on the table.

Having worked within the charity sector myself, I know firsthand just how vital individual giving is. When times are tough, it’s community-powered support that keeps these essential safety nets running.

So, despite being definitely not a runner, when my family roped me into taking on the Abbey Dash 10k, I knew I had to use it as an opportunity to raise money for this vital food bank charity. (If my legs have to endure 10km of running, it might as well be for an incredible local cause!)

No one should have to go hungry or face overwhelming debt alone—especially at this time of year.

Thank you so much for supporting my 10k run and helping feed and empower communities right across my city.
