A pleasure to have Cllr Ryan Hack at In The Mix last night. Without him and Unite the union: join a union we would not be able to run such a valuable ( and fun ) weekly kitchen #food #community #RefugeesWelcome #PeopleOverPolitics

🍊Second Week Completed ✅ Right now in #Brent food poverty is high - a statistic likely to rise this year. 🍓The Brent Surplus Food Market seeks to tackle food waste and reduce childhood hunger. ➖Open to everyone in the community. No referral needed. FREE. #RightToFood

🍛Brilliant to join Sufra NW London for their #Diwali  themed supper club at GranvilleComKitchen in South #Kilburn. Great to come together to talk, relax and eat as a community in #Brent 👨🏼‍🍳 Huge thanks to Jas & volunteers for cooking us a Manu Butternut Curry, it was so delicious!

🗞The re-opening of the Laurence of Larder Community Kitchen has become a frontline service that is tackling poverty in South Brent. We are witnessing a cost-of living crisis in #Brent compounded by years of austerity, which is a political choice. Read my Brent & Kilburn Times article 👇🏻

Great to join Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙 and Saqlain at the #EnoughIsEnough Rally in #Brent. We call on the government to introduce universal free school meals to help end child poverty, once and for all. Food is a basic right and food hunger is a political choice. #RightToFood

🗞️ My Brent & Kilburn Times column on our success in helping to open a Surplus Food Market with Londons Community Kitchen to tackle food hunger and waste. Ending referrals & transitioning to open, as well as free surplus food markets, is critical to ending stigma. Everyone has a #RightToFood.

Nobody should ever have to go without food in this country.

Day 2 : 2000 children fed delicious festive hot meals thanks to Hilton Wembley Premier Foodservice

🎄Thank you to everyone who came out to support Laurence’s Larder last week and help celebrate our re-opening. We also announced the appointment of our first patron #ZadieSmith, who grew up locally and is a vital part of the volunteer team! #StLaurencesNW6

👨🏻‍🍳 I really enjoyed spending my #ChristmasDay volunteering in the kitchen for Sufra NW London’s Christmas Lunch 🍲 It was great to celebrate the meaning of the Festive Season with the community. A time to come together and give thanks. 🎄Merry Christmas everyone!🎅🏼

The Trade Union Movement are stepping up to tackle rising food poverty in #Brent ✊🏻 I’ve been working with Unite the union: join a union to raise funds for Laurence's Larder to build a new kitchen on the premises it operates from, in my ward Brondesbury Park. Read my latest Brent & Kilburn Times column👇🏻🗞

🍽️ As a child I received #FreeSchoolMeals. 🌹 The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s admiral decision to offer them to ALL primary pupils for a year is powerful & shows that things happen with political will. Now let's strive to END food hunger across the UK entirely. #HungerIsAPoliticalChoice

Happy Pancake Day Folks 😊

The global food system, controlled by a tiny number of corporations makes us reliant on international markets for over 90% of our produce. In London and it's outskirts, disused land & buildings could be utilised to create community led robust local food chains. #FoodSovereignty

Demand for food banks is increasing at a horrifying rate, with many people facing the desperate choice between heating and eating. This is the Tories’ shameful record after over a decade in power👇🏾 metro.co.uk/2023/02/24/soa…
