Raising money for The Welcome Centre

Altra Yorkshire Marathon 2025 · 19 October 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

We help local families and individuals in crisis with food, toiletries, and other essential items. We provide advice, guidance, and support to address underlying issues. We want to improve the quality of life of those experiencing extreme disadvantage in our community by providing practical support.

Story

On October 19th, two of The Welcome Centre trustees are each running a marathon. Andrew (our chair of trustees) will be taking on the Ljubljana marathon (Slovenia) while Rachel will be running her first ever marathon at the Yorkshire marathon (York).

The Welcome Centre is one of the largest independent food banks in the UK, providing vital support for thousands of individuals and families in crisis across Kirklees.

Last year, The Welcome Centre provided 368,385 meals to people in crisis across South Kirklees. Nearly 2000 households were also supported with advice, guidance, and help accessing other services and support.

Anything that you can donate to enable us to continue to help people in crisis would be greatly appreciated. With your support, we can provide hope, dignity, and a helping hand when it is needed the most.

Thank you! :)
