Another May, another challenge! Are you ready to Make May Matter?
Make May Matter is Feed The Hungry UK’s annual fundraising challenge month. Together, our supporters and donors take on all sorts of sponsored events and activities to raise vital funds for our overseas and UK projects.
Some people set themselves a physical challenge, such as Steve who raised nearly £500 cycling 90 miles in 2 days. Others raise money together through a group challenge, like our Foodbankathon walkers.
But it’s not all about fitness! Some of our supporters host events such as a bake sale or a bingo night, giving the proceeds to Feed The Hungry UK.
Francesca, age 9, is a regular volunteer at Lillington Pantry in the school holidays. She loves helping out at the Pantry, which is available to low-income households that are struggling to afford food.
Last May, she decided to Make May Matter by putting on her roller skates and setting herself a skating challenge. And she smashed it!
Age is no barrier to having fun while fundraising. Why not get involved in your way this May?
How do I get involved?
It’s pretty simple!

Can my uniformed group get involved?
Absolutely! This is a great opportunity for Scouts, Girl Guides or church youth groups to challenge themselves while raising money for a good cause. We can even come and visit your group to talk about the work of Feed The Hungry UK across the world and in Coventry.
Are there any group events I can take part in?
Yes! Our Great Coventry Foodbankathon visits every single one of our 15 foodbank centres and our central distribution centre in one great big hike round the city. This year, it’s happening on 6 May. You can join in the whole walk (around 30km) or join a part of the walk that’s local to you.
Ready and raring to go?
Great! Fill in the form to get our free fundraising toolkit, complete with event decorations, sponsorship forms and an A-Z of fundraising ideas.
You will also be able to set up a fundraising page with us if you’re taking on a challenge event. And we’ll make sure you know the easiest way to send the money you raise to us.
