Thank you for supporting the Hackney Giving team at the Hackney Half!

Your support means the world to us. Look out for our runners and give them a big cheer as they run through Hackney on Sunday 17 May.
The Chesham Arms in Homerton held its annual pumpkin carving competition on 30 October and chose Hackney Giving as the cause to benefit from funds raised.
Pub guests carved some fantastic lanterns to light the way into winter. There were several faces to scare away the baddies as well as a Bugs Bunny, the iconic AC/DC logo and the winner: the ghostbusters symbol.
The pub garden looked 100% monster-proof with the candle-lit lanterns glowing under the awning. And there were definitely no ghosts allowed!
A massive thank you to our friends at The Chesham Arms and to everyone who took part and donated. The money raised will go towards community projects in Hackney and the City of London that support health and wellbeing or which bring people together to reduce isolation.

£678 from your tickets for Stoke Newington History’s recent talk has come to Hackney Giving – thank you!
Thanks to you, we funded an extra eight community projects to help people with the cost of living over the winter. The positive impact on people’s lives is clear.
