All my friends and family - I need your help !!
On 7th April I will be running The London Landmarks Half Marathon in aid of The Rukhsana Khan Foundation Food Bank
Please sponsor me, please !
Why ?
Because The RKF Food Bank is a very special charity, where I’ve volunteered for the last 4 years.
It’s small - but packs a mighty punch, supporting 120+ households each week in North East London - who are living in poverty.
Right now is the toughest it’s ever been: not new news - but the cost of living crisis has really screwed everyone, and the numbers speak for themselves:
Each week the RKF Food Bank supports:
* 120 households / 300 people (many are children + babies) across Waltham Forest
*A waiting list of 15-20 households who need our help
*12 new referrals every 7 days
*Since 2020, demand for RKF has grown by 460%
…while our costs have risen 30% in the last 14 months due to food inflation prices.
*Each week we distribute 450 bags of food

Every penny that’s donated goes to providing food to those who need it most, and so if you can spare a few ££, I would be massively grateful.
Thank you, thank you 🙏
From me - and all the RKF team
