So great to see the FEFA Larder opening to the public again!

The volunteers have delivered over 6000 food parcels in the 18 months since they closed but it's not the same!

We can't wait to see local folk back buying at the Larder tomorrow! @VibrantEAC @LinkUpScotland

It’s widely assumed that suicidal men do not ask for help.

We found that in 67% of those who died, there had been contact in previous 3m with frontline services, 38% in final week.

Deeply sad but inevitable result of 1990s logic whereby those in power started to make the division: welfare/bad : public services/good. Only a new design which re-connects us to one another in a bigger story of common fate will change this.

Children understand ’community’ in their bones when cradled and freed in the right measure, they can reverse that African adage: ”it takes a village to raise a child”, and remind us adults of the disarming truth; often it takes a child to raise a village.
