On 30 May 2021 I'll be running the Edinburgh Half Marathon to raise money for The Trussell Trust.
Food insecurity should not be an issue in 2020 but sadly this year especially has led to more and more people relying on the work of charities such as The Trussell Trust just to get by. In the next few months food banks are expected to give out a food parcel every 9 seconds. Between April and September of this year The Trust gave out over 1.2 million parcels via the 1200 food banks situated across the UK. The number of food bank users has been increasing for several years now, and organisations like The Trussell Trust depend on donations to be able to continue their essential work.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much! xxx
The Trussell Trust:
Our vision is for a UK without the need for food banks.We say this because it’s not right that anyone cannot afford their own food. That’s why we are working towards a just, compassionate future, where no one should have to use a food bank to get by.Our vision is ambitious, but we know that if we work together it is possible. We can create a future where nobody goes hungry, because nobody will allow it – when we work Together for Change.#TogetherForChange
