From the Tea Table

February’s Reflections from Alyson

Our annual Double the Donation Campaign is just around the corner, launching on 1st–2nd March! And it’s not too late to get involved as a fundraising champion.

I know from speaking with many of you that this year might feel like a lot to take on.
But it’s worth remembering that all donations are matched by our generous Sponsors and Matchers during the campaign period – making this one of the simplest and most effective ways to make a real difference. And even if you don’t want to be a Team Lead by yourself, you can buddy up with a friend to host a Donation Page, or even just share our Food Bank Aid page link with your friends, family, neighbours and contacts – donations are doubled for everyone!

I couldn’t be more grateful to Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents for once again being our generous Sponsor, supporting us not just with part-funding the costs of the campaign, but also by giving their time and resources to help get our fundraising messages out to a wider audience.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll start to see our posters in the local area and content appearing on social media. Please do share these if you can – every share helps.

It’s thanks to your generosity and support that we’re able to help an incredible 20,000 members of the community get the food and essential items they need to live their lives with dignity.

Plus, if you or anyone you know works for a company which matches employees’ donations or fundraising activities, please let us know. If we can double the doubling, the impact will be even greater for Londoners in poverty.
