We met some amazing volunteers during our cycle challenge and it is so easy to get involved.
There are various roles available, from helping with food sorting, packaging, to distributing parcels.
Simply contact your local food hub for further details.

The Cause
Food Bank use has soared by 54% in the past 5 years, with 1 in 5 of the UK population living below the poverty line.
3.1 Million emergency food parcels were provided between April 23 and March 24, Trussel Trust.
This is not ok.
The Giving Tree is aiming to raise £30,000 with their Pedals with Purpose initiative, which would help provide thousands of emergency food parcels to those in crisis and support vital elements such as warehouse space, staffing and food delivery costs at our local hubs.
Cycle Safari 2025
Pedals with Purpose
In April 2025 The Giving Tree was raising money and awareness for food banks in the East of England, a cause very close to our hearts.
Every time a team member cycled and logged a mile on Strava our charity partner, Edmondson Hall pledged to donate 50p to The Giving Tree. The culmination of the teams’ efforts then ended with a gruelling 520km Cycle Safari around 10 food banks in the East of England to raise awareness and funds for these much-needed facilities.
We are delighted to have raised over £27,000 for this initiative, which will make a huge difference to those in our local communities.
