It’s Earth Day today, celebrated around the world in over 192 countries by over a billion people, all taking action to protect our planet through environmental change. There’s a lot going on - everything from conferences and street marches to art displays, beach clean-ups and action to prevent food waste, the latter being something that we do every day, and here’s an example of what we did yesterday, gleaning at Martinsfield Farm. With help from our volunteers and staff, and from our friends at Nando’s, Princesshay, we left with 22 crates of beautiful purple sprouting broccoli, weighing 168kg!
Triggered by the conflict in the Middle East, as the cost-of-living bites once again, with rising costs for energy and food, this week we took to BBC Spotlight’s sofa to explain what it means for us. Just as for everyone else, it means that costs are increasing, at a time when many people are already struggling to get food on their tables and are now likely to find it that little bit harder. We didn’t have long, just four minutes in fact, but we did what we could to share our story, which is that we’ll be doing our level best, as we always do, to ensure that nobody ever has to go hungry, or choose between eating and heating. Thank you to everyone who supports our work. We couldn't do what we do without you!
