Asics British 10K London Run 2011 · 10 July 2011 ·

We’re an anti-poverty charity & community of food banks, working together to ensure no one in the UK needs a food bank, while providing practical support for people left without enough money. (Please note we're unable to forward funds onto individual food banks, funds raised here go to Trussell)

Story

Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Despite both being rather exercise-phobic (particularly Molly) we have decided that raising money for The Trussell Trust is worth the inevitable pain of running 10K. We have less than 2 weeks to train so it will be a major challenge! Please sponsor us as we’re raising money to help launch more foodbanks across the UK, giving emergency food to people in crisis.

Foodbanks clients are not always those you may think need food... they are low income families for whom a large bill forces them to choose between eating and paying the rent; or people who have been made redundant or are suffering benefit delays. Radio 4's report on foodbanks really brings home the need.

It’s shocking but true that with 13 million people living below the poverty line in the UK there are people going hungry in their own homes every day. Rising food prices are sending more and more people to foodbanks for help. The need really is urgent: 50% more people have been fed this year than last (numbers jumped from 41,000 to 61,500 fed nationwide) and currently a new Foodbank is launching every week. Will you help us stop people going hungry nationwide?

Please consider sponsoring us to help The Trussell Trust in the brilliant work they do - even just a small amount would be hugely appreciated.
