Running with Heart: Striders Spread the Love for Fairbite Food Club

In February, South Cambridge Striders combined fitness with generosity, quite literally spreading the love, as members took part in a special food bank run in support of the Trumpington Fairbrite Food Club.

Held the day after Valentine’s Day, runners were encouraged to bring donations to help local people in need. Before setting off, members arrived carrying bags of tins and essential supplies. In total, the club collected more than 77 cans of food and 10 jars of coffee, which were handed over to the Food Club after the run.

Patrick Brown, coordinator of the Trumpington Fairbrite Food Club, thanked the club for its support, saying: “A huge thank you to South Cambridge Striders for their generous donation. Everything will go to local people who really need it. It’s great to see local runners turning their weekly run into real support for the community.”

The Trumpington Fairbrite Food Club offers an affordable food shop to its members in the local area.
