Episode 5 of the Making Manchester Fairer Podcast is here. This podcast series takes a deep dive into the pressing issue of inequality in Manchester, and its impact on people's lives. From health and wealth to various social issues, we'll explore how it's affecting our city. In this episode, we're talking about food support. Food is often more than a meal; our guests discuss the importance of community, dignity through food, and how food can open up conversations around bigger issues like the cost of living crisis.

Carbon Literacy training is helping us to create organisational change. It gives us a way to help our staff to adapt to low-carbon behaviours at home and in their work. Over 3,300 people are now certified as Carbon Literate in our organisation. 📜 We achieved silver status in 2021 and we’re going for gold in 2025. That means that we’ll have trained 50% of our workforce. 🏅 We started working with the The Carbon Literacy Project in 2019. And we now have 20 volunteers who’ve stepped up across the organisation to help us deliver the training. We trained 95 people in one day during our recent Carbon Literacy Action Day. 💚 An organisational culture that understands and shares our aims is key to our zero-carbon ambition. We're embedding our goal to lower carbon emissions in everything we do. And we’re working with our suppliers and partners to help them to make change too. Everyone can be involved in making change in our organisation. And this year has seen some amazing support for our work. A big thank you to everyone involved! #ZeroCarbonMcr #CarbonLiteracy #CLAD
