Our social media manager is off today but they still told me to post something...

The UK Government has announced a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements. We welcome this important step in response to serious violations of international law.

School gives us a chance to dream big about our future, but millions of children are missing out on that opportunity. The UK Government can introduce a debt justice law to stop private lenders putting profit before people. We need to put pressure on them to make it happen.

Behold, the chains of debt are broken. Our session called for catalysing the Common African Position on Debt & Borrowers’ Platform to challenge unjust finance systems, strengthen borrower solidarity, and end the cycle of intergenerational debt. #AfCoDDVI #DebtJustice @unctad.bsky.social

Please join us in prayer for the people of Nepal and Tibet, after devastating flash floods swept through communities along the border 🙏 We hold in our hearts all those affected, and the rescue teams working to reach communities cut off by the disaster.

Black-and-white close-up of hands clasped in prayer, with a person blurred in the background. A dark text banner reads: “Pray for Nepal and Tibet.”

God of compassion, We weep with the people of Nepal and Tibet. Images of devastation tell a story of terrible loss. We cry out to you for the bereaved, for all who could not save their loved ones. We grieve for those who have seen their homes swept away. God, keep safe those waiting for rescue, renew the strength of emergency workers, and turn our shock and sorrow into action. Make us your hands and feet, reaching out and standing with our neighbours in their deep distress and urgent need. In Jesus name, Amen

The Democratic Republic of Congo is facing the deadliest Ebola outbreak in its history. Yet it's barely being spoken about in the news. Salome, our Head of Global Humanitarian Response, shares how local partners and churches are trying to reduce the spread.

Being kind? Kinda chic. Standing with people affected by poverty? Even chicer 💖

Please join us in prayer for the people of Colombia, after a devastating earthquake struck the country 🙏 Our thoughts are with all those affected, including those working tirelessly to save people trapped under the rubble.

A lit candle on the right illuminates a prayer titled "A prayer for the people of Colombia." It addresses God, mentioning themes of support during disasters, loss, fear, and the importance of sending help and being close to those affected. The prayer ends with the word "Amen."

When the earth trembles and homes fall to dust, hold our hearts, God.

When grief shakes families long after the world falls still, hold our hearts, God.

Our sisters and brothers in Colombia
live this now.

Where there is fear, send neighbours.

Where there is need, send us.

Be close to the buried, the searching, the bereaved.

We're not meant to carry things on our own. Galatians 6:2 says to bear one another's burdens. To share the load when someone's struggling and to let others share yours. This is embedded in our work around the world. Carrying what's heavy together, so that no one faces it alone.

Annotated Galatians 6.2 against a black background and red arrows and underlining of key words.

Whose weight might we help hold today? - bear one another's burdens.

None of us were made to carry it alone: 'another'

'the law of Christ.' - Maybe this is what love looks like when it's real

bible verse: 'Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.'

The new Prime Minister has a chance to help millions of people escape poverty. Without asking taxpayers to spend a penny more. @andyburnham.bsky.social, three choices sit on your desk: on debt, on arms sales to Israel and on who leads change in their own countries. All of them are yours to make.

A clipboard with a paper titled "Prime Minister's to-do list" lists three tasks: cancel unjust debt forcing countries into interest payments, ban arms sales to Israel and end trade with illegal settlements, and direct more support to national and community partners leading change in their own countries.

Imagine being a child tonight with nowhere safe to sleep. In shelters across Venezuela, children and young people are the largest group at every shelter. Most sleep without basic protection. Gender-based violence and attempted sexual abuse were found in 41% of shelters assessed.

Our partners are on the ground at shelters. There are makeshift beds on concrete floor, which children are siting and lying on.

Feeling the heat? This week’s heatwave across Europe is another reminder that the climate crisis is no longer a distant threat but very much a present reality. India has also been facing extreme heat with temperatures regularly rising above 40°C.

🚨 We’ve launched an appeal to help communities affected by the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). A region already at breaking point. There are no approved vaccines and no specific treatment for this strain.

Ebola emergency appeal - when every second counts. Help save lives, today.

DONATE NOW
Ebola is spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) right now.

What makes this outbreak different?

This strain of Ebola has no approved vaccine and no specific treatment.

Without effective action now, this could become something far harder to contain.

We know that it can be hard to be hopeful. When watching the news, it’s easy to believe that the UK is more divided than ever. Yet many of you show up for each other.

Definition of the word 'Hope' - to trust or believe. To want something to happen to be true, and usually have a good reason to think that it might.

Serving others is at the heart of Christian faith. Across the Bible, believers are called to love their neighbour, stand with the vulnerable and work for justice. But what does that look like in practice?

How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? 1 John 3:17

The hope of the resurrection doesn’t end with Easter Sunday. It continues today and always. It’s a hope that does not fade with time but stays with us. It shapes how we see the world and reminds us that God is still at work. Even in the darkest times - resilience, renewal and hope can still rise.

Lent is so much more than just giving up chocolate. It's shaped by three practices that help turn faith into action - prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Rooted in Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 6:1-18, Lent invites us to look beyond ourselves to notice the needs of others and to grow in faith.

Three pillars. Forty days. This is Lent.

During Lent we are called to pray for those whose voices are often ignored.
