Wendy at Incredible Edible Barnet

🙏🥰

I was privileged to see a drop in session in action last week and the fab volunteer advisers (with super supervisor support) helped people with housing, council tax and debt issues.

Every donation will help us give free advice and support to those who need it most in Barnet, so thank you!

Free, life-changing advice in Barnet – Big Give Every day over 100 people come to us in desperate situations. Whether they're struggling to feed their families, facing injustice …

The wonderful charity I'm a trustee for, Citizens Advice Barnet, is taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge this year, where donations are doubled until 9 Dec.

If you are able to support this great local charity with a few £s we would be very grateful 🙏

Another COP, Another Missed Opportunity to Tackle Emissions From Food “I think it's been a pretty big disappointment.”

"We did not see enough discussion about livestock or meat production in particular, or even diets in general. So I think this is a pretty big missed opportunity." Dan Jasper, Sr Policy Advisor

Hate Black Friday (like me)?

How about Bean Friday instead?

Highly recommend you give this #BoldBeanCo Squash, sage and goats cheese bean-otto recipe a try tonight 😋

In fact, just get their cookbooks, there are lots of other tasty treats like this one.

UK folk (and I'm sure the same will apply in other places), sort out your obsolete cables and get them recycled.

Just a little thing but, I was about to put the dishwasher on but will now wait until this evening instead.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Barnet is lucky enough to be getting two, yes two, new community orchards this winter 🥰

Both have various sessions to join in with the creation, planting and caring for the trees.

Could you let us know why you weren't able to vote on this yesterday?

We had a very apeeling day at the Incredible Edible Barnet Apple and Pear celebration a few weeks ago.

Thanks to everyone who came, donated apples, chopped, crushed, pressed, drank, chatted, tasted, shared food memories, made mobiles, peeled apples and looked for bugs!

Celebrating apples In the run up to World Apple Day on Tuesday, Dave McCormick of Incredible Edible Barnet focuses on core values

I’ve seen a hedgehog! I just recorded it on The BIG Hedgehog Map.

Thank you for mapping your hedgehog sighting - BIG Hedgehog MapBIG Hedgehog Map bighedgehogmap.org/holes-for-he...

Thank you FoE for finding the right words for such a terrible situation.

And sending my personal thoughts to the Jewish people in my community in Barnet. We stand with you against hate.

Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

I don't think the media realises they don't need to tell people to eat less meat to help climate and biodiversity issues, they just need to help people eat more beans (and other veggies)!

If you are attending conference this week this event should be top of your how do we feed everyone fairly list.

Absolute treat to find this little one in my garden this evening!

It was in an area that wouldn't have been easy for it to get out, so it was moved into the veg beds, where it can hopefully snack on all the visiting 🐌🐌🐌🐌

Tis the perfect time to get some apple cider vinegar on the go ✅
