The Big Bounce: Racing Together for Foodbanks
Three foodbanks. Thirty obstacles. One Big Bounce.
This August, East Lothian Foodbank is joining forces with Edinburgh Food Project and West Lothian Foodbank for an epic inflatable 5K challenge — and we want YOU on our team!
On August 30, the three foodbanks will each field a team of seven sponsored racers to take part in a day of teamwork, laughter, and community spirit at Abercorn School House, Broxburn — all in the name of helping people struggling to afford food across East Lothian, Edinburgh and West Lothian.
We’re looking for some intrepid ELFS (East Lothian Foodbank Supporters) to bounce, slide, swing, and leap their way through 30 giant obstacles in a fun, energetic fundraiser that will support the vital work we do every day.
We’re recruiting 7 runners to represent East Lothian Foodbank in this friendly but fierce battle of the foodbanks. It doesn’t matter if you’re super-fit or just super-enthusiastic — if you love our community and want to make a difference, we want you on our team!
To Bounce for East Lothian Foodbank
Not up for bouncing? No problem — whether your cheering, sharing or donating you play a vital part in our Big Bounce success!
We’re calling on all ELFS to rally behind our team in whatever way you can:
- Sponsor a Runner or Team – Cheer on our participants by donating to their fundraising pages. Your support gives them (and us!) a big boost.
- Make a Donation – Every pound helps us provide food, advice, and hope to people across East Lothian.
- Share the Campaign – Spread the word with friends, family, and on social media. The more people who know, the more impact we can make.
However you choose to support, know this — you’re making a real difference in the lives of local people. Help us bounce to victory… and beyond!
“We’re excited to join forces with two brilliant foodbanks in a bit of friendly rivalry — all in the name of raising vital funds and awareness. While foodbanks are best known for providing emergency food, our work goes far beyond that — offering support, advice, and a lifeline to people across our communities who are struggling. This challenge is a fun and energetic way to highlight that work, and to show what’s possible when communities come together”
