It's #CitizenFriday - will you share, repair and get out in the fresh air?

Citizen Friday was started by the Re-Action Collective as an anti-Black Friday campaign

Today is a great day to join to help us all avoid being manipulated into buying things we don't need or want!

Everyone is welcome

One in four households with very young children are in food poverty. Labour has no excuse. This shocking state of affairs on child food poverty has been worsened by Labour's failure to act on things like the two-child benefit cap
