Insurance Institute of Leeds Foodbank Charity Challenge
To raise money and awareness of our President’s chosen charity, the Leeds South & East Foodbank, we are inviting members to join in with a charity challenge between the 15th and 19th July.
The challenge
For a 3 day period, the challenge is to only eat food and drink you would find in a typical food parcel given out at food banks around the country.
How it works
Sign up via the link below so we can keep track of who is taking part, and make a £10 entry donation on our Just Giving page - https://www.justgiving.com/page/iilfoodbank
Choose 3 days to take part in the challenge (we’re suggesting the week commencing 15th July, but the challenge is flexible and can be done at any time).

Who are we raising money for?
