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.
Hackney Young People’s University received a grant of £4,996 to run healthy eating sessions with young people. The group learned about different vegetables and the variety of ways they can be cooked and saw how to make healthy foods on a budget.
After the group had cooked their meal each week, they sat together to eat, building friendships between participants. The valuable life skills learnt through this project and the friendships created will last long after the grant has ended.
Hear Maxine Boyce, director of Hackney Young People’s University, describe the project in her own words:
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.
£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.
