📣 As faith communities we are calling on the UK Government to protect refugee family reunion which is under threat of permanent suspension.
Families belong together.
Every family deserves safety.
Every child deserves healthcare and education.
That's why we're launching our campaign for refugee family reunion.
Thanks for sharing!

🚨The Chancellor highlighted positive steps taken so far to tackle hunger in today’s #SpringStatement
We welcome these, but with 6.8 MILLION people facing severe hardship, the UK government must make more plans to tackle hunger in the upcoming Autumn Budget. 🧵
(2/2) your spirit will be the encouragement we need to keep to speaking out against it.
Today, we ask for breakthrough for those facing situations of injustice. May they know a sense of hope that only you can bring. Amen.

A Prayer - from Compassion UK
Heavenly Father, you to teach us to seek justice, to defend the oppressed and take up the cause of the fatherless and the plea of the widow.
We ask that when the scale of injustice seeks to overwhelm us (1/2)
Today is UN World Day of Social Justice✊
This is a perfect opportunity to remind ourselves of our Christian call to 'loose the bonds of injustice' and keep standing in solidarity with marginalised peoples, even when it feels like there is so much going on in the world.
What justice issues can you reflect on this Lent? How can you learn more about modern worldly temptations and how we might resist them? 🏜️
"Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights" - Matthew 4: 1-2
Food banks are a lifeline. But they’re not a long-term solution to hunger.

Our statement responding to the Home Office proposals for "earned settlement" is now on our website.

Human beings shouldn't need to "earn" settlement.
"Any changes must take into account the real-world circumstances faced by many immigrants and not push those already at the margins of our society into further destitution and uncertainty."

Give wisdom and compassion to leaders with the power to make a difference.
Amen. (2/2)

Loving God,
Today we hold the survivors of FGM in our hearts, for the trauma and pain that they have experienced.
We pray for all those who are at risk of FGM, and ask that they be protected.
We pray for justice for survivors, and a commitment to eradicating FGM across the world.
Female Genital Mutilation is a human right violation that infringes on the fundamental rights of women & girls.
230 million people have been subjected to FGM.
This year's theme is "Towards 2030" reflecting the UN Sustainable Development Goal to #endFGM by 2030.

Today marks the International Day for Zero Tolerance of FGM
