I am reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to make a difference in our community. I am planning a thrilling 14,000-foot tandem skydive to raise funds for Feed Fenland, an initiative that fights food poverty and provides hot meals to those in need.
Feed Fenland is a charity dedicated to creating a sustainable support system that channels community resources into helping individuals who are struggling to make ends meet. We're currently facing a cost-of-living crisis, with 11 million people in our country experiencing food insecurity. Shockingly, we waste around 1.3 billion tonnes of edible food each year.
I strongly believe that everyone deserves access to a hot meal, regardless of their circumstances. It's not a privilege, but a necessity for survival and well-being. What's fantastic about this charity is that they offer a no-questions-asked service, ensuring that anyone in need can receive support.
Founding members started off serving 30 portions a night. But recently, we broke our own record by serving a whopping 175 portions! It's amazing how much our charity can provide to the community when the need is so apparent. I do worry about how we can meet these growing needs and make it sustainable. In the beginning, just one big pot was enough, but now our cooks are making nearly three full pots of delicious hot food. Money is tight for many people, and that's exactly why our service is growing. We're here to feed anyone who is struggling, whether they're housed or homeless, employed or not, single individuals or whole families.
Feed Fenland are reaching out to you because we believe in the power of community and the impact we can make when we come together. Your support would greatly contribute to the success of this charity. Every pound raised will directly go towards providing meals and support to those who need it most.
