I'm Aatif and I cycle on the weekends with Favad - I'm raising money to help secure a new property, for the foodbank where my friend Favad volunteers every week and says its getting worse and worse out there for people in need.
Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause featured in BBC news.
One of the biggest food banks in east London is appealing for help to find new premises after being served an eviction notice.
Pl84U Al Suffa in Leytonstone, which supports about 500 people a week, has been ordered to vacate its home by 8 June.
The landlord of the building plans to refurbish the premises. Waltham Forest Council said it was doing all it could to try to find a suitable alternative for the food bank.
Saira Begum Mir, founder of Pl84U Al Suffa, said the facility was "the only way that people can survive".
"They've still got to pay their electric and utility bills - they're not going down, they're just going high," she said.
"The needy are being more deprived of things.
"It is very important that we can provide food on the table for themselves and their children.
"Food is the only option they can get free - where there's a bit of support."
