I know our shop staff and volunteers are working hard to ensure the supply chain to the island continues to function. But I am sure @juradevelopment would echo this call for support for remote rural shops.

"Collectively, Scotland’s islands pay their way handsomely...
All that offers a great creative opportunity for government to address islands’ challenges and recognise the vast disparities within them."

This is the beautiful West Coast of Jura. The area we are trying to protect from industrial fish farms, to keep the wilderness and widlife protected and hopefully the animals as free as much as possible from industrial plastic tape. In the meantime, enjoy the view.

Funding from @CyclingUKScot allowed us to run Bike Repair sessions with Jura Cycles. As ever, it was as much about the getting together fur a blether as it was about learning some practical skills. Next on the agenda, a community cycle to Islay!

“I think climate change is a very important problem to tackle because it’s ALL of our futures. Not only our futures but also all of the species on the earth - plants, animals and us. I think we owe it to every single species on earth to fix this climate crisis” - Elisa (10yo)
