Connecting with Quaker treasurers
Quaker treasurers play a key role, ensuring that not only their local or area meetings, but also Britain Yearly Meeting as a whole, continue to thrive. But the financial rollercoaster of the pandemic has made what can already be a demanding, time-pressured role more challenging

How young people are making change happen in Rwanda
I'm a Quaker from Rwanda and have done peace work for many years. Together with my colleagues, I train young people on how to take nonviolent action, mediate conflicts or help others with healing from trauma. Over the years I have learned that in Rwanda justice campaigns are much more effective if they are supported or even led by young people.

Why protest shouldn’t be prevented
A key part of Quaker faith is putting that faith into action, trying to change the world using nonviolent methods. For a religion that believes all people have value as children of God, using violence to force change is off the agenda.

Protecting the right to protest: action you can take
The recent vote on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill was deeply worrying. If the bill became law, it would severely limit the right to protest. It would also criminalise Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities' way of life, introduce draconian prison sentences for certain crimes, and expand 'stop and search'.

Why we’re calling for polluters to pay for the damage they cause
We all know the impacts of the climate crisis are getting worse. With wildfires, catastrophic floods and the first famine attributed solely to climate change, 2021 has been a terrifying parade of fossil-fuelled disasters. But what happens to the people on the receiving end of this loss and damage?

One Day: Holocaust Memorial Day 2022
I remember learning about the Holocaust in primary school, and a classmate asking why we were being taught about these things if they're so terrible. "So that they don't happen again", replied the teacher.

From policy to practice: safeguarding the most vulnerable
It only seems a moment ago that I was confined during lockdown and working on the York Area Meeting safeguarding policy. But time goes on quickly and I see from my notes that it has been three years. This short article is an account of my personal journey with safeguarding and that of my team. I will try to provide a pen portrait of what we have learnt, what we have achieved and *spoiler alert* why I'm proud of it.

Strengthening children’s rights: UNCRC bill secures Royal Assent in Scotland
In a success for children's rights in Scotland, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill officially received Royal Assent on 16 January 2024 and will come into force on 16 July 2024. This is a significant milestone in the journey towards ensuring the wellbeing of every child in the nation, and builds on years of advocacy by organisations including Quakers in Scotland and our coalition partners Together (the Scottish Alliance for Children's Rights).
