Taking action to ban nuclear weapons forever
On Saturday 9 December campaigners gathered outside the Ministry of Defence to celebrate the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. We were there to celebrate the efforts of campaigners from across the globe in achieving the landmark UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. But also to challenge the UK government's lack of support for the ban. This is a historic treaty and an important step on the road towards nuclear disarmament.

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

Three ways Quakers are changing attitudes to plastic
It's strange to think that the first purely synthetic plastic was only invented in 1907, by a chemist named Leo Baekeland. His versatile and hardwearing invention, Bakelite, quickly became popular. By the 1960s, product designers were championing mass-produced colourful plastics in their work. Plastic was democratic, futuristic, and cheap.

We know that confronting our climate crisis requires us to embrace fundamental changes: to our lives, what we buy, how we use energy and other resources. Through our Quaker worship and our witness, we seek a truer way of living – one that allows our testimonies to flourish.

6 ways to make Quaker meeting houses more sustainable
There are many ways to take action against the climate crisis. More than 100 Quakers recently took part in a mass lobby of Parliament at Westminster, urging MPs to take action. Others have been involved in school strikes, anti-fracking action and activism with the growing Extinction Rebellion movement.It's also important to remember that the sustainability we might call for in other areas of our lives applies to our Quaker meetings and meeting houses as well. In my role I've come across many ways meetings are trying to make their properties more sustainable – and seen a lot of opportunities yet to be taken, too. Here are six ways to make a difference.

Where our witness is: an invitation to the QPSW Summer Series
We all have our coping methods in this strange time – locking ourselves in the bathroom for 5 minutes peace away from the children, taking up running to get outside and process stress, or allowing ourselves more screentime, as the telly becomes a more significant activity to look forward to. But we all need one thing to get through and that is community.

How are Quakers meeting? A summer snapshot from around Britain
A joy and privilege of my work is spending time in the lives of Quaker meetings. Over the last few months, I've seen Quakers respond creatively, faithfully and lovingly to the challenges presented by Covid-19. This has led to worship happening in ways most of us would scarcely have dreamt of a year ago.

Not zero: why we should be wary of ‘net zero’ climate targets
