Santa Marta and the great transition away from fossil fuels

Updated 24 April 2026

The Santa Marta conference opens in Colombia on Friday 24 April. I was glad when it was announced at the end of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil, last November, as a way for countries that are serious about getting off fossil fuels quickly and fairly to plan how to do it together – without getting bogged down at COP with the likes of Russia and Saudi Arabia. It'll report back to COP but offers a faster path.

Updated 19 March 2019

According to Urban Dictionary, the word 'badass' is: "1. A general term used to describe behaviour that is fearless, authentic, compassionate, and ethical. 2. Well above the social standard for 'normal' behaviour." It's also a gender neutral term, which I rate.

Syria: 6 things you can do

Updated 19 April 2018

In recent weeks my mind has been occupied with thoughts of Syria. I have spent a lot of time reading the reactions of Syrian activists in the diaspora to the launch of airstrikes, and listening to what my Syrian friends thought, many of whom still have family living there. For those of us not directly impacted by the conflict, and who haven't experienced the unimaginable suffering and loss as a result, what can we do?

Welcoming gender diversity: what does love require of us?

Updated 2 February 2022

At our Yearly Meeting in August 2021, Quakers in Britain recorded:"We seek to provide places of worship and community that are welcoming and supportive to trans and non-binary people who want to be among us. Belonging is more than fitting in.With glad hearts we acknowledge and affirm the trans and gender diverse Friends in our Quaker communities, and express appreciation for the contribution and gifts that they bring to our meetings, which are communities made up of people with a diverse range of gender expressions. The end of our travelling is for differences not to divide us. We rejoice in recognising God's creation in one another. This is what love requires of us."– part of Minute 31

Inclusion and diversity: reflecting on our journey so far

Updated 10 March 2022

I began working for Quakers in Britain in June 2018. I was drawn to the role by an advert that asked for help, a recruitment process that included a range of staff, and the chance to work in a faith organisation I had briefly encountered before.

From policy to practice: safeguarding the most vulnerable

Updated 14 March 2023

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.
