Many people rely on small, convenience stores. Not all stores are stocking healthy, budget-range items. This is unfair 🙅🏻♂️ @WhichUK are calling on supermarkets to commit to clear pricing & better access to budget ranges. Sign here: bit.ly/3YGOVqy 📝 #AffordableFoodforAll
Millions of families across the UK are struggling, so we’re calling on supermarkets to do more to help. #AffordableFoodForAll

ALT Supermarkets should urgently stock budget line items across their convenience stores, prioritising areas most in need. These should be: Wide-ranging: Have a sufficient range of essential budget items on offer that supports a healthy diet. Affordable: Prices that make a real difference to people’s pockets Easy to find: Consistently available and easy to spot in store

Last year, more than 760,000 people used a food bank for first time because they didn't have enough for the essentials, like food and heating.
This isn't right.
Can you help us build a better future where everyone can afford the essentials? 👉 bit.ly/3LuMAKh
ALT More than 760,000 people used a food bank in our network for the first time. This is 38% more than last year.

Did you know you can grow peas & strawberries in a pair of old wellies?🍓 🌱

Edinburgh has some wonderful parks and #NoMowMay would be a good recognition for @Edinburgh_CC thriving green spaces to be recognised for their hard work in keeping spaces wildlife friendly
Great to see another council getting involved with Plantlife's #NoMowMay
Are you a local council who wants to be involved? Learn more here: plantlife.org.uk/campaigns/n…

#NoMowMay is a great opportunity to boost #biodiversity, provide food for pollinators, and increase the greenery that cleans our air. You can leave 'wild pockets' in your orchard, or let the whole space go wild all month.
