We (Conor and Louise!) are running the Hackney Half Marathon on Sunday 22nd May to raise funds for Bow Foodbank charity, which encompasses two foodbanks based in Bethnal Green and Bow.
Tower Hamlets has the highest rate of child poverty in the UK, and since the beginning of the pandemic the number of families relying on foodbanks has continued to grow at an alarming rate. The total number of visitors at Bow and Bethnal Green has increased by 540% since last year, and with energy and food costs continuing to rise, the charity is always in need of support in the form of donations.
Both foodbanks operate a non-referral policy, meaning that their doors are open every week to anyone in need of a little extra help, whether that be food, toiletries, pet food or baby products.
Anything at all that you can donate would be amazing, and stay tuned for updates on how two of the Rohan siblings manage not to fall out in the run up to the big day....
