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.

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.

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.

General Election 2024: A guide to the manifestos
We are now just over halfway through the general election campaign. From the nation's racetracks, runways, and rollercoasters, UK politicians are reaching out to the public with their ideas of where to take society in the next five years. The recently released party manifestos provide a crucial lens through which we can evaluate how our values align with the proposed policies and commitments that our political leaders have made.

General election manifestos: how do they fare on climate justice?
Quakers are committed to equality and sustainability. We want to see a world in which all living beings can thrive. The upcoming general election is likely to bring about a change of politics. What might this look like? And how can we ensure that climate justice is at the heart of future government action?

Learning from other Yearly Meetings
In March 2024, Meeting for Sufferings endorsed a proposal for a continuing yearly meeting. This would meet four times a year and would be open to everyone, including children and young people.We were reminded in ministry that the idea of a continuing Yearly Meeting isn't new or original to British Friends. We held meetings with Friends in north America in April and May to learn more about their governance structures.

Reflections on the 2024 Labour Conference: change or business as usual?
If, as William Penn said, "true silence is to the spirit what sleep is to the body", then I suspect there are many attendees at the Labour conference in need of spiritual rest. As soon as I stepped onto the platform at Euston on Sunday morning the air of urgency was obvious. The train was packed with party members bumping shoulders with professional lobbyists, which made for some interesting overheard conversations.

COP29 – could it be a COP of peace?
At COP29, world leaders are due to set a new global climate finance target. The last time a goal like this was set – in 2009 – 'developed nations' agreed to provide $100 billion annually by 2020 to help 'developing countries' reduce emissions and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. After much foot dragging and empty talk, the goal was eventually met in 2022.
