A great initiative 👏🏻 These key missions could roll out a food culture that could be replicated in many higher education institutions 📝

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: https://t.co/GohlshY6QQ 📝 #AffordableFoodforAll

[Which? @WhichUK]

Millions of families across the UK are struggling, so we’re calling on supermarkets to do more to help. #AffordableFoodForAll

20-minute neighbourhoods would allow access to all our day-to-day needs including food without having to travel more than 20 mins on foot, bike or public transport 🚶🏻‍♂️🚲🚌. This could lead to a more #sustainable env, ⬇️ #healthinequalities & ⬆️ quality of life. #20minneighbourhood

We responded to the Scottish Government’s consultation on local living and 20-minute neighbourhoods - read the key points and access the full response and useful further information 👇

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

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? 👉 https://t.co/4XtU9d6u7V

[Food for Life @SAfoodforlife]

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

A food plan for Edinburgh needs to focus on availability and affordability of local, seasonal, produce that is tasty and nutritious, not just mashed tatties and a carrot!! @EdinComFood @Edinburgh_CC @nourishscotland

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

[Plantlife @Love_plants]

Great to see another council getting involved with Plantlife's #NoMowMay

Are you a local council who wants to be involved? Learn more here: https://t.co/NFxLbg0wsJ

[The Orchard Project @ProjectOrchard]

#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.
