I’ve volunteered for Food Bank Aid for eighteen months, doing enormous supermarket shops and delivering heavy crates of food, and other essentials to one of the 18 food banks in north London. I’ve met so many inspirational people who keep smiling through the difficulties of running or using the banks. Oh, and I’ve improved my upper-body strength no end.

I’m walking 5k on 29th August to help raise funds. Not a huge distance, but I will be doing it pushing a heavy trolley full of groceries for the food bank. And uppermost in my mind on the day will be my Mum, whose anniversary it will be, and my brother Paul who devoted so much of his time to helping homeless and hungry people.. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this!
