Last week, we welcomed Andy from @bigriverne to celebrate the bakery's 10th birthday. It is a bakery in Shieldfield which operates as a warm hub. They often have free cookery workshops, pay what you can and pay it forward incentives running. #partnerships #community #partnership

Many thanks also to Mahamat Younis and @JuliaHHeslop for presenting the work of @DwellbeingS about community knowledge building in contested urban space.

Some of the @sageuk staff went along to do some baking with Andy & the team @bigriverne. They made stotties just like what they did on @HairyBikers Go North. The stotties were then brought along for our hostel residents to enjoy. They went down a treat 😋#homelessness #Newcastle – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

Thanks to all the messages and good will following our appearance on @HairyBikers. A few folk have asked about how they can donate to help our work so I have added a donate button to the website home page bigriverbakery.com thank you
More stotties next week 😊🙏

Tune into the @HairyBikers Go North BBC2 series tonight at 7pm to see Locality members @bigriverne doing their thing! The bikers proclaimed that the social enterprise make “the best stotties ever”! 🍞📺
Would you believe it, it’s the last in the series of Go North tonight! And we’re somewhere very special, riding through Tyne and Wear, and Newcastle, back to where it all began for Si.
Tonight at 7pm on @BBCTwo, and you can catch up with the whole series on @BBCiPlayer 🍽

Launching a new obesity strategy just a few days before you start subsidising half-price meals in fast food restaurants, is quite something. theguardian.com/society/2020…

For years now @michaelgove has promised no dilution of food and animal welfare standards as a result of Brexit. Last night he voted against an amendment that would have guaranteed that. I'm not surprised. Just think it's worth acknowledging that he is, straight up, a liar.

We need to support small-scale local food producers who are doing the RIGHT thing!!
Here’s @PrivateEyeNews cutting through @NFUtweets’ “No F***ing Use) duplicity on food standards. Lobbying for #gm crops, against #pesticide restrictions and the enlightened “3 crop rule”.
