Story

18 months ago I became increasingly aware of the needs for those in Colchester who are on the poverty line. I spent sometime looking at agencies around Colchester to support and was touched by the work of Foodbank.

I support as a Trustee and am looking at ways that I can personally help so that we can reach more people with our work.

Being overweight it seemed to be an appropriate sacrifice to lose it (lose Lb's)  and at the same time gain funding (gain £'s) for Foodbank. Some others are going to join me in this activity and we welcome anyone else who wants to lose weight and generate fundraising for Foodbank.

To join please contact Simon at the following email simon.prestney@recruiterz.co.uk.  

Thank you for anything you are able to give to Foodbank. I am going through 2 hours of gruelling exercise at 6.30am 3-4 mornings a week so that you know I am going through some pain to get your generous support 1 hour gym and 1 hour swimming. The aim is 5 1/2 stone across 30 months.
