I’ve been looking forward to this book launching today 🚀 It links our inner psychology and climate change in such a practical and kind way! It was an honour contributing to it. Thank you and congrats to @CharlyCoxCoach and Sarah Flynn 💕 #climatechangecoachingbook

Absolutely devastated 💔 what a loss to us all - and what a privilege to have been blessed with her existence 💕
It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of our beloved CEO Caroline Drummond MBE, who passed away yesterday. Caroline transformed LEAF from small beginnings 30 years ago to where we are today. There are no words to express how much she will be missed.

#foodcitizenship helps connect people with the power they have around food. It speaks to joy, nourishment, anger, and solidarity. It makes sense of the complexity, not by simplifying everything, but by showing what can be done within it. We are food citizens 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

There are many ways businesses can help tackle hunger beyond donating surplus food, starting w/ paying a real living wage. I hear stories of some supermarket employees handling donations one day, only to pick up their emergency food parcel a few days later bbc.co.uk/news/business-6089…
