There's no point crying about it when they are gone. If you want local, owner run and social food businesses in your towns and cities you gotta support them and spend money in them before it's too late. We are all part of a social economy #buylocal #buysocial

🛑TIME HAS STOPPED🛑
Women’s Aid Federation NI now no longer receives core funding from the Department of Health.
We are now the only Women's Aid Federation in the UK not to receive funding from local government.
#SAVEOURFUNDING – at Belfast, Northern Ireland
ALT TIME HAS STOPPED. Every 16 minutes the PSNI are called to a domestic abuse incident. Every other month a woman in an abusive relationship is murdered. And still we are waiting for government funding to meet the demand. #SAVEOURFUNDING
