Radical Routes Winter Gathering 2013 in Nottingham.

Thursday 31 October 2013

Pickets had been out across Nottingham and Trent Universities from 7.00am onwards.

Shoplifting is an under-reported crime, costing UK retailers £2.2 million every yea.  This week the Evening Post reported on the troubling exponential rise of shoplifting offences in Nottingham. However, the more worrying statistic than the 25% escalation in crimes from April to August, was the mere 58.8% police detection rate.

The secret kitchen cafe offers a healthy meal in good company, for whatever donation people can afford. The cafe has moved venue to St Christopher's Church Hall on Trent Road in Sneinton. It has landed right in the middle of Sneinton so please pop by for some delicious food!

During the two week City half-term holiday we are open as a LUNCH CLUB from midday to 1.30pm.

2 Spaces left to Liverpool Vegan Festival to help Veggies please.
