Shining a light on the arms trade

Updated 17 February 2020

On Tuesday 12 September the world's most prestigious arms fair – DSEI (Defence & Security Equipment International) – starts in London.

It's time to Build Back Better for a safe and just future

Updated 11 June 2020

Even as the Covid-19 lockdown rules are loosened, I am hearing many people say they believe things will never get 'back to normal'. Of course, we all crave a 'normal' where we can see our friends and family, and where key workers can do their jobs without fearing for their lives.

Nurturing the spiritual life of our communities

Updated 22 December 2022

I am somebody who reflects on what is nourishing me spiritually quite regularly. Whether it be wild swimming, singing in harmony or a windy walk on the moors, I find a range of activities help fill up my spiritual cup. Quaker worship is an important part of my spiritual life and it is where I am part of an intergenerational community. I feel lucky that a large part of my role as a Local Development Worker is supporting Friends to ask the question 'what are we finding spiritually nourishing' – not as individuals but as a whole Quaker community.
