Kathryn's Long Night for Newark Foodbank

Kathryn Mays is raising money for Newark Foodbank

The Long Night · 22 November 2025

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At 10am on November 22nd, 2025, I am stepping away from the noise, the comfort, and the world as we know it to face "The Long Night". I will be deep in nature in the Lake District, embracing the cold, the dark, and the elements while living simply - no food for 36 hours and no sleep - testing my resilience for 26 hours straight. This journey is about stripping back to the essentials and discovering what I am truly capable of.

I am trading Comfort for a Cause. This challenge is not just a personal test; it is an opportunity to raise vital funds for Newark Foodbank. Every hour spent moving under the stars, away from the warmth and connectivity of modern life, will directly support their incredible work in feeding our local community.

The Ask: Help me make the cold, fatigue, hunger, and long hours of darkness count. My target is to raise £250 to support this essential cause.

Location: Great Langdale, Lake District

Organised by: The Primal Edge

I will return on November 23rd a little different than before. I won't have my phone on me during the event as this experience is about stripping back to basics; however, there will be some photos taken and videos shared afterwards.

Thank you for your support.
