🎉 Conference season is in full swing, and if you're like me, you might end up with a collection of lanyards piling up at the bottom of your laptop bag! Beyond the clutter, there's a bigger issue—sustainability. These lanyards are tricky to recycle and often end up in landfill. 🚮 Luckily, I've found some creative ways to repurpose them! Check out this link for some fantastic ideas: https://lnkd.in/e3UjV-cM Here are a few more suggestions: 📚 Use them as bookmarks ✈️ Identify your luggage with them 🎗️ Donate to charities - some use them for employee IDs, and others repurpose them into practice laces for children with motor difficulties (definitely the best cause, see video below) Let's make a difference and reduce waste together! 🌍✨ #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #ReduceWaste #CreativeReuse

Join the Drive to Make a Difference! 🚗🥫 #DriveAwayHunger As we gear up for this year's Drive Away Hunger campaign, let’s reflect on the profound impact we can have together. With every donation, we're not just filling pantries – we're fueling hope and nurturing communities. Food insecurity is a challenge that faces millions, but it's one that we can tackle with collective action. This initiative is more than a campaign; it’s a movement. A movement towards a world where no table is without nourishment, and no family is without support. Get involved by donating non-perishable food items, volunteering your time, or spreading the word. Every contribution, no matter the size, drives forward the mission to end hunger. Let’s unite to create change, one meal at a time. 🤝 #EndHunger #CommunitySupport#FCC

📦 Foodbanks are busier than ever. 🗒️ Expanding on previous research on food insecurity and everyday austerity, Dr Alison Briggs Briggs and Prof Sarah Marie Hall's spoke with local charities and community organisations in Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent, exploring the impacts of the cost-of-living crises on their work. 💬 These organisations describe a collective sense of lurching from one crisis to another. While staff and volunteers remarked on how people’s experiences of food insecurity, for instance, were becoming more chronic. 💡 Policymakers need to move towards embedding cash-first approaches to support low-income households instead of relying on the dominant charitable approach.
