Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am part of a team which is working to establish the Aberdeenshire North Foodbank - part of the Trussell Trust Foodbank network.

In the UK, people are going hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income - there are people in our own towns and communities who for whatever reason may not be able to feed themselves or their families. Can you imagine going without food for more than a day or not being able to give your children breakfast or an evening meal?

We are working towards establishing an initial food distribution centre in Inverurie. To do this we require volunteers, food donations and funds to help us get started and to remain sustainable.

As well as helping with the administration of the Aberdeenshire North Foodbank I want to help raise awareness for the Foodbank and also contribute to our fundraising cause. For our distribution centres we need weighing scales (to weigh our food parcels) and shelving to store the food. I hope that by asking for sponsorship to run the Run Balmoral 10k (27th April) and the Baker Hughes 10k (19th May) I can, with your help, make a contribution to buying these. Please give whatever you can. Thank you!
