Blackburn foodbank is part of the Trussell Trust national network of foodbanks, providing a minimum of 3 days worth of nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people in crisis in Blackburn.We collect non-perishable food which is donated by the public through churches, schools and supermarket collections. Front line care professionals e.g. social workers, doctors etc refer people to the foodbank with a voucher which is exchanged for 3 days worth of food. Over a chat, a meal and a drink we listen and signpost clients to other agencies for support.

Story

As I lace up my running shoes for the Manchester Marathon, I'm not just aiming to conquer personal goals. I want to help support Blackburn Foodbank in their mission. It’s a charity that I’ve been able to support voluntarily through work over the past year and will continue to support.

There are many individuals and families across our communities struggling to put food on their tables. This reality hits particularly close to home in communities like Blackburn, where food insecurity remains an issue.

Blackburn Foodbank plays a crucial role in providing essential support to individuals and families in need, offering not just nourishment but also hope for a better tomorrow. Let’s ensure that no one in our communities go hungry.

Join me in supporting Blackburn Foodbank through my participation in the Manchester Marathon, because no one should ever have to worry about where their next meal will come from!
