Hello! My name is Maeve and I and fundraising and train for the Edinburgh Food Project with the Edinburgh Half Marathon this year. I’ve lived in Edinburgh for over two years now and want to give back to the city that has given me so much.

Edinburgh Food Project runs seven foodbank centres across the city offering emergency food parcels to people in crisis. These crucial parcels provide immediate relief from hunger and worry, giving people the opportunity to deal with other issues that may be affecting them.

Edinburgh Food Project also runs a FCA Accredited Money Advice Service offering debt, budgeting and benefit advice, and works with partners to help people find a way out of poverty for good.
