We absolutely have to fill up food banks and not just our own fridges. That’s why we’ve donated £1.5m of food to FareShare which is stocking food banks up and down the country. #ItsWhatWeDo

115 retail workers are physically attacked every day. This needs to change. We’re calling on industry, government and communities to work together to tackle the root causes of violence, not just the symptoms. xitter.cf/cards/18ce…
