As the clock ticks down to the start of COP26 on 31st October we are encouraged as Christians to pray about the challenges of climate change and to take action as stewards of God’s amazing creation. TearFund and Eco Congregation have a number of helpful resources to help us become better informed, give us a prayer focus, encourage us to get involved and help nudge us towards doing things differently.

Fairtrade Fortnight is here
March 5, 2021
It’s that time of year again where we take time to stop and think about our planet and its people and how we can bring about a positive change, even the tiniest of ways can help.
The theme this year is Choose the World You Want and this highlights the growing challenges that climate change brings to farmers and workers in some of the poorest communities in the world. It is more important than ever to support Fairtrade and play our part in creating a fairer, more sustainable world. Buy Fairtrade.
