Providing housing, making homes: Quaker Housing Trust celebrates 50 years of service

Updated 24 July 2018

Housing is not just about providing 'bricks and mortar', but also about challenging inequalities and prejudices. This is reflected in the range of projects supported by and through Quaker Housing Trust (QHT), a national charity set up by Quakers in 1967.

Why are there foodbanks in a rich country?

Updated 17 October 2018

Some decades ago, I remember seeing a picture of graffiti that said 'Nobody starves in the welfare state'. It wasn't a boast, or propaganda, but a protest. This seemed odd to me at the time: why on earth would people write that as a protest?

‘May love be amongst us’ as we walk the many pathways of faith

Updated 8 November 2022

For me, the finding of the Quaker pathway of stillness and silence as the gateway to transcendence was criss-crossed with walking – sometimes running – along other pathways of faith. These explorations have been a real joy in my life. But since being a member of the Quaker Committee for Christian and Interfaith Relations (QCCIR) I have deepened that joy by meeting each person of faith, just as they are.

Navigating uncertain waters: Covid-19 and inequality

Updated 9 April 2020

Policies that show generosity towards asylum seekers make some European politicians very nervous, which is why some of what we have seen in Europe in the last few days is so remarkable. The deportation of asylum seekers is being suspended (Germany), immigration detainees are being released (Italy), homeless people are being housed (France), and some are being given temporary asylum (Portugal).
