"Those who eat together, stick together". A powerful evening watching The Old Oak film with our volunteers at REfUSE . The story resonates for our community in many different ways.

A quick lunchtime sketch of Paige as she works to clean the design from the window REfUSE cafe. I look forward to what goes on next, it’s always so informative and thought provoking.

We had a day working with Darlington College catering students to teach them about ethics and sustainability of food, ideas on how to value food through preservation techniques. Great to see the fruit of this work as students provided lunch for today's Sustain #GoodFoodLocal event!
