Just a few days left in our Nourishing Hope campaign 💜

Crowdfunder shared a short interview reflecting on what this campaign has meant and what we’re seeing on the ground. You can watch it on Instagram here:

The Aviva match pot has now been fully used, thank you to everyone who helped us make the most of it. While donations are no longer being matched, the campaign is still live and every contribution continues to support our work with neighbours facing crisis.

We’re so grateful to everyone who has shared, talked about, supported and championed this campaign. The community response has been incredible.

Thank you for all that you do!

💚💜🧡

We’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness, encouragement and care that’s come our way during this campaign.

These messages remind us that this work is never just about numbers, it’s about brilliant, kind and generous people showing up for people.

Thank you for every word, every nudge, every act of support it all helps especially in these busy weeks.

💜💚🧡

🏃‍♂️ This weekend, our amazing trustee Jagmohan Bakhar Singh is taking on the Big Half, and he needs your support!

He is not running for the challenge, in fact he doesn't usually run. We are very privileged that gets his trainers out especially to raise vital funds for Bow Foodbank.

As an independent foodbank this helps us in our mission to provide consistent support for our neighbours in crisis, ensuring our community builds their resilience. 💪🏼

Every step gets us closer to our goal, but we can’t get there without you.

📣 Please consider sponsoring Jagmohan today, and help us make a real difference:

Let’s show him that his effort (and training miles!) are worth it.

Thank you for your support as always 🫶🏽 💚

Jagmohan Singh Bhakar, a long-term Trustee at Bow Foodbank first became involved at its inception at St Mary’s church in 2014.
