Water scarcity is a growing crisis affecting millions of people worldwide and urgent action is needed to mitigate this looming challenge. With this valuable resource on the decline we need to embrace more sustainable practices and non more evident than in the garden.
Loneliness is something most people feel at some point. It can happen when we're alone in a busy place or even when we're by ourselves. It affects everyone, no matter who they are or where they live. But even though many people feel lonely, it's still hard for some to admit it or do something about it.
If you or someone you know is dependent on a landline telephone, or a service that relies on it, such as a telecare device, personal alarm, or burglar/fire alarm, then it is recommended that they check with the provider of the service to see what their plans are for the service, and when they expect the changes to happen.
Embrace companion planting to naturally deter pests and boost plant health and prioritise native and pollinator-friendly species to support local ecosystems. By adopting sustainable gardening practices, we can minimise our environmental footprint and create healthier, more vibrant gardens.
Loneliness Awareness Week is running from the 10th to the 16th of June. Originally initiated by The Marmalade Trust in 2016, Loneliness Awareness Week was created to spotlight loneliness across the UK. This year’s theme is “random acts of connection” and aims to encourage everyone to increase those simple, everyday moments of connection which help us feel happier and less lonely.
