foodiscare

Food is Care didn’t start in a ngo or a policy office. It started on a council estate. In a community where you can get blueberry vapes, but no blueberries. That’s not a coincidence. That’s a food system that perpetuates inequality. #FoodisCare

On my council estate, @dominos isn’t just takeaway — it’s one of the most accessible “treats”. But when the least healthy options are the best value, that has its consequences. At the Domino’s AGM tomorrow, I’ll be asking why? #FoodIsCare 🍕🥤

Website being created this week #FoodisCare

A sustainable food system? That depends where you stand. In my estate, you can get blueberry vapes — but not blueberries. I’m building something different with @FoodisCare. Support or share 👇 gofund.me/50a092c10

‘It feels like an attack on the poor’ Dominic Watters is a single dad on Universal Credit. If the government decides not to increase benefits in line with inflation, he’d receive £600 less a year (acc to @resfoundation ). He tells @BBCNewsnight he doesn’t know how he’d manage

.#FoodisCare is both a concept and a campaign developed through the living experience of council estate food poverty 🌆 🍲 #2024objectives

£10 is not enough to feed your child 5 nutritious meals during half term. The amount needs to be increased to match the prices rises. @Kent_cc @UniKent @MarcusRashford #FoodisCare the only campaign by someone actually living in council estate poverty 👨‍👧🌆 🍲

I asked how can social work claim to be anti-oppressive while #FoodInsecurity is not included in our professional standards, frameworks or curriculums. On way back to my estate… #FoodisCare #CouncilEstateSpeaker @BASW_UK
