Huge congrats to @scranacademy! We’re thrilled t Huge congrats to @scranacademy! We’re thrilled to be working with you to help provide meals to vulnerable people and those who are self-isolating. #Repost @scranacademy with @make_repost ・・・ This weekend saw us hit 3 months in lockdown . 70,000 meals. 15,000 deliveries. 100+ organisations. We had no idea what would we be in-store for us all. We still don't. But Scran and all our awesome partners stepped up without a hesitation. We're proud of these numbers, we wish we didn't have to do what we've done, but we're doing it. And we will keep going. The lesson? Be there for each other. Act with love, speed, heart and do it together. Local people are the best people to defend themselves.
