Since January I have been volunteering with Hope Food - a local food bank charity where we collect, sort and redistribute food, providing essential support to our community across North Birmingham.

In the short time I have been helping, I have seen the hard work, passion and dedication from the team of volunteers that make our weekly food banks possible as well as deliveries to hostels and people in need. We support over 500 people per week and it takes around 70 volunteers to do this!

Hope Food is run totally by volunteers and we are reliant on fundraising and donations. So this year I would like to do my bit by raising money for Hope Food whilst doing the 8.5 mile Sutton Fun Run.

Any donation, whatever the size would be massively appreciated by the team and the people we support through Hope Food.
