Updated 10 June 2021

We welcomed with deep relief the end to the recent round of bombing in Gaza and firing of rockets into Israel.

Crunch time for Policing Bill

Updated 6 December 2021

The Policing Bill is a massive piece of legislation that includes many measures that go against Quaker values.

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.

This includes roles developing Quaker communities, supporting peace and social witness work, building connections with other faiths, as well as roles that help our faith directly, such as clerk of Yearly Meeting.
