This week, we celebrate an incredible milestone; our three millionth Rose Voucher was spent on fresh fruit & veg by a family in Glasgow. 👏 🛒 This achievement represents £3 million worth of Rose Vouchers spent in local markets & independent greengrocers. buff.ly/4cuX1Z1

"My little girl, she loves her fruit. I’m trying to introduce her to more vegetables. I take her to the market, and she’ll pick up what she wants to eat and use the Rose Vouchers to buy it. She’ll ask me every week, ‘Mum, have you got my vouchers?’" buff.ly/3wg4VWg

"Now I have the vouchers I can buy more fruit and veg and I’m trying to eat more healthily. My daughter eats more fruit now too, she likes bananas, strawberries, mango, and watermelon especially in the hot weather." - Bushra #HammersmithandFulham buff.ly/3XEHxNX

Please donate if you'd like to make this a reality for every family.

"I’m so happy that my children are trying different fruit and veg. They wouldn’t have this variety if we didn’t have the Rose Vouchers. What we buy has changed 100% since I’ve had Rose Vouchers." buff.ly/3V7oOHs

Listening to Wes Streeting MP talking about a bold approach to prevention and public health because health is an economic growth mission of new government. Interesting framing of health as a driver of economic growth. Hopeful that investment in prevention will be a priority.

Interesting to hear from ⁦William Hague saying everyone in the UK needs this new Labour government to succeed otherwise we will have fallen too far behind as a nation. A government of national unity…?

🤰 Inequality starts before birth. 👶 Babies from families on a low income are more likely to have a low birth weight or be premature. Poor health at birth has a ripple effect. 🥑 We support pregnant women to buy fruit & veg, helping to give their children the best start.
