This is great news but that's only 5 councils out of +300, just less than 2% - it doesn't even scratch the surface sadly. Much more needs to be done.
Pupils, patients and public sector workers across England will benefit from healthier and more sustainably sourced meals, as a selection of councils receive grants to strengthen food procurement in their local communities. publicsectorcatering.co.uk/n…

A total joy today to present 95-year-old Willie Ralston with a #KeepTalking beanie hat and he was very chuffed to receive it! ☺️ We enjoyed a lovely few hours with Willie today, filming a wee interview with him as part of our #PloughingOn initiative celebrating the important role of senior people in the Scottish agricultural community. Willie had kindly looked out lots of pictures from years gone by and shared many of his favourite memories with us for a video which we look forward to launching very soon. Many thanks to Willie, who also attended one of our Plough On Festive Lunches, and to everyone who is getting behind our PloughingOn activities. 👏🌟👏🌟 #KeepTalking #farming #FarmingCommunity
