Learning from and praying for the women of Nigeria: World Day of Prayer 2026
I'm happy to be your Quaker appointed representative on the joyful, wonderful and inspiring World Day of Prayer Committee for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each year, the WDP service is created by the women in a different country – in 2024 it was Palestine, last year it was Cook Islands, and this year we are hearing from Nigeria. 2027 will be the centenary year! The service features songs, prayers and stories from the focus country, to help us feel connected across the world. I try to immerse myself in learning as much as I can about the country featured, because it's an interactive process. I get the most from the WDP services when I get really involved. This year I'll be wearing Nigerian dress and headscarf, and as part of the service, I'll be reading the words of a Nigerian woman.

Bread Not Bombs: honouring those killed in war by preventing future war
Near the desk I usually sit at when working in Friends House, there's a poster featuring a wheatsheaf that reads: 'The hungry need bread not bombs. Stop the arms trade.' When I leave at the end of the day, I pass another poster. This one bears the photo of a young African girl drinking from a plastic bowl. It declares 'People need water not weapons.'

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).

The fragility of freedom: Holocaust Memorial Day 2024
Quakers, like many others, participate in Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) each year. Taking place on 27 January (the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp), it's a critical reminder of how division and hatred can spread, and to reinforce our commitment to prevent that.

Reflecting on COP28 – where next for climate justice?
Another set of annual UN climate talks has come to a close and many are sitting with mixed feelings. COP28 brought some unexpected welcome developments but it also saw a worrying increase in the potential for capture by the fossil fuel industry.

Quakers and the upcoming general election
A general election is a great opportunity for us all to influence how our country is run. At Quakers in Britain we've developed some materials to help Quaker individuals, groups and meetings engage with their local candidates and communities. You can find all the information at www.quaker.org.uk/vote.

Stepping forward for peace: a public display of unity and peace
In 2012, at 28 years old, I stood just behind the fountains at Trafalgar Square waiting for a taxi to arrive. It was early April, bright and cold. The square was busy, as it often is, but today was different. Instead of the movement and transient atmosphere, people were sat down facing a stage in front of the fountain.

Building Quaker community
Every year I ponder what the theme will be for the new Contribution pack – the annual fundraising appeal of Quakers in Britain. I think about what's going on in the world, the economy, or, from a more personal viewpoint, whether I want it to be hopeful, to convey a story, or be inspirational.

Meeting for Sufferings: a changing body for changing times
At Yearly Meeting 2024 Friends will be asked to consider whether to make significant changes to our structures for corporate decision making. Part of the proposal is to lay down Meeting for Sufferings and instead to hold Yearly Meeting sessions four times a year. These continuing Yearly Meeting sessions would be open to all Friends, as well as involving representatives from Area Meetings.
