Fight Local Hunger With Made in Hackney's First Ever Veg Dash Fundraiser

On October 15th plant-based community cookery school and charity Made In Hackney is unleashing teams of runners dressed as fruits and vegetables around Hackney in their first ever fundraising Veg Dash event. 

The 'dash' aims to raise £20,000 to provide 10,000 meals this winter for households struggling to afford nourishing food during the cost of living crisis. 

Billed as a fun, family friendly event - participants 'dash' to ten different fruit and veg themed stops and take fruity photographic evidence. 

It's an accessible event. Participants can run, walk, roll or even jump on to public transport dressed in their veggie finest to complete the route!  

The school encourage everyone to get involved  (it's not too late to sign up)  but if you're feeling more couch potato than runner bean, you can support by making a donation and, if you snap a two footed aubergine on your block next week tag on socials using #VEGDASH to share MIH's fruity antics. 

Want to fight hunger and see a bunch of fruit and veg dashing through Hackney? Yes! Support their dashers by making a donation Veg Dash donation page. 

Want to join the fun as a solo dasher or with a team? There's still time - and incredible prizes to be won for best fruit and veg costumes, the team that fundraises the most and funniest selfies!
