GJE dash for Hackney Foodbank

We’re running to support Hackney Foodbank - every step (and every shop!) counts!

On 3 July 2025, a team of 19 from Gill Jennings & Every LLP will be lacing up our running shoes and taking on the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge in Battersea Park to raise funds for Hackney Foodbank. This involves a 5.6km race that brings together companies from across the city.

This run is just the first step. Later in the year, we’ll also be taking part in a Supermarket Sweep challenge - using GJE’s volunteer days to carry out a large food shop for the foodbank, ensuring they’re well stocked with essential items. Every donation raised through this page will go toward both supporting the foodbank’s ongoing work and helping us fund that shop.

We’re aiming to raise over £1300, and we’d love your support.

Whether it’s the cost of a coffee or a bigger gift, any donation will be greatly appreciated and will help make a direct impact.

Thank you in advance for supporting us!

About Hackney Foodbank

Hackney Foodbank was launched 12 years ago to help tackle food poverty, and support people in crisis with compassion and dignity. They do this by providing emergency food, which offers practical, immediate relief in moments of crisis, and by connecting people with local organisations who can help them to address the root causes and wider effects of poverty in their lives. In 2023, Hackney Foodbank provided emergency food for an average of 630 people per week – a 55% increase on the year before, while facilitating connections to relevant support including financial management, debt and housing advice, and mental health organisations.
