Every day, we see the impact of financial distress,
a crumbling health service, political time wasting &
hoarded wealth. Every day we see evidence of trauma
kept in people's bodies.
People in East Belfast & beyond deserve better. At minimum they deserve an allocated budget agreed by those they elected. They deserve an implemented poverty strategy. In line with England, Scotland and Wales they deserve a direction of travel towards universal free school meals. They deserve to head into winter not worrying about how they will heat their homes and feed their children.
As we once again wait for political leadership that uplifts, communities will do their best to care for each other. Community will continue to share resources, to share skills, we will look out for ourselves AND for each other.
Larder>East is here to make sure there is food on your table and that this food brings you joy and keeps you well.
So...
Join us on Friday morning to share food, skills and joy. We'll be talking gut health & mental health. We'll be sharing grub and holding space for each other.
