Many people rely on small, convenience stores. Not all stores are stocking healthy, budget-range items. This is unfair ๐

ALT Supermarkets should urgently stock budget line items across their convenience stores, prioritising areas most in need. These should be: Wide-ranging: Have a sufficient range of essential budget items on offer that supports a healthy diet. Affordable: Prices that make a real difference to peopleโs pockets Easy to find: Consistently available and easy to spot in store

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? ๐ bit.ly/3LuMAKh

#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.
