Thanks for giving the time to visit my donation page. Foodcycle is a charity that utilises donated food to support people in need via community dining spaces. Week in, week out we feed the hungry and give company to the lonely in our communities; providing delicious meals and great conversation, and using food which would otherwise go to waste.

I began volunteering at Foodcycle during the COVID lockdown period as I found that their mission really resonated with me. Many of our guests struggle with finances, mental health and disability. Throughout my time at Foodcycle, I got to see just how much a warm meal and a human connection can mean to those that really need it.

Due to the stress of isolation and a slew of unfortunate events, my mental health suffered during COVID. Having the opportunity to come to Foodcycle to cook, to meet and to interact with the volunteers and guests played a big part in helping me find myself again. 

This will be my first time running a half marathon, and registration fees have already been paid for. All proceeds will go towards the charity, so contributions of any size are welcome.
