The UK's reliance on imported food raises critical questions about sustainability, resilience, and long-term food security. Bannau Acres is addressing these challenges by reconnecting communities with locally grown, fresh, and nutrient-rich produce. Through regenerative farming practices, the initiative supports healthier ecosystems, reduces waste, and revitalises local economies. For every £1 spent on veg box schemes or farmers markets, an additional £3.70 is generated in social, economic, and environmental value. Bannau Acres is at the forefront of delivering these benefits, helping to strengthen communities and create a greener, more sustainable future. We partnered with Bannau Acres to craft a brand and digital presence that champions the importance of buying local and highlights the incredible work of their network of farmers. Our work celebrates the power of buying local and reflects the commitment of their network of farmers to producing high-quality, locally grown food for their communities. #LocallyGrown #SuportLocal #FoodSustainability #RegenerativeFarming #Branding #WebsiteDesign #GraphicDesign

Last night, I dusted off my blazer to attend the South Wales Police Awards 2024 at Brangwyn Hall, a celebration of the dedication of officers, staff, volunteers, and partners. The #NotTheOne campaign was a finalist for the Impact Award. I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve accomplished with the South Wales Police and Wales Violence Prevention Unit, educating young people about the risks of carrying a knife. A big thanks to Jane Stevens and the South Wales Police Campaign Team for including us in this event and for trusting Blue Stag with this important project. Looking forward to the future of the campaign and continuing to make a difference in our communities together.

We're proud to bring one of these to Wales 🏆 Launched in 2021 by The Webby Awards, The Anthem Awards honour purposeful & mission-driven work of people and organisations worldwide. In collaboration with South Wales Police and the Wales Violence Prevention Unit, the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences has recognised # NotTheOne from over 2,000 submissions.

Sound on! 🔊 Last week marked the launch of the latest phase of the #NotTheOne campaign, which educates young people about the dangers of carrying a knife. To support us with the project, we teamed up with Cardiff Metropolitan University creative writing students, Courtney Francis and Ines R. Their brief: To write a script for a 'screen life' video targeting 11-16-year-olds to underscore the risks of carrying a knife. We have been so impressed with their evidence-based approach, creativity, and the product they have helped to produce. Read more about Courtney and Ines' experience working on the project in their own words in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/dmHRhHNy If you want to learn more about the campaign, watch real-life experiences about knife crime, or access specialist resources, visit https://lnkd.in/dGi2XuN6.
