Story
Hello!
Our family have been involved with the Pecan food bank, a local community charity based in Peckham, since the pandemic started last year.
We were able to offer some help and support with a regular food collection and drop-off service, all generously donated by our local community.
The pandemic has thrown so many people into crisis and food banks have been supporting more people than ever over the past year, but people need better support than this.
The Southwark Foodbank supported 18,978 people (7,089 children and 11,889 adults) from April 2020 to March 2021, a total increase of 289% from 2019/2020.
To put it in perspective, Pecan supported more children in 2020/2021 than the combined number of children and adults in 2019/2020.
Our family are pleased to support the local Pecan food bank and i'm very proud to be able to run the London Marathon to help raise much needed funds for a brilliant local charity.
Any small donations are massively appreciated and thank you so much for your help and support!
