This is how Margaret describes what befriending means to her: "It's great to have someone to keep you company. It's great to have someone's face coming in the door to you."
Thanks Margaret for being part of our poster campaign!

Supermarket visit was a sobering reminder of how good we have it most of the time compared to many, of how disconnected from the food supply chain most of us are, & how reliant we are on big chains & imports. Plenty of food for thought. #beastfromtheast #StormEmma

Sustain, UK food alliance, is right to distinguish between 'cheap' and affordable food: https://t.co/luvc47rok3 Brits, learn history! 1846 Corn Law Repeal didn't suddenly feed the poor. Cheap imported food enabled low wages. 'Good quality affordable diets for all' is better goal!

I think this photo from Ard Eadrad Apt's DP in Mulhuddart sums up all my efforts to document privatised DP 'closer' or to have an access to the property. The management from some of the Centres have even called Garda when I was taking the photos from the side of the road.

Over 45% of food consumed in Ireland is "ultra-processed", which leads to diabetes and obesity. If you want to fix our Health system, let's begin with our Education system. We need a mandatory food subject in primary school @RichardbrutonTD @campaignforleo

We long for the day when we are 'out of business' because foodbanks are no longer needed. This new joint report from the Trussell Trust reinforces a call for simple, practical steps that could reduce the need for foodbanks & shows change IS possible: https://t.co/2Mlrt7ytlS
