Helen Hughes from Glasgow was a wonderful lady and an inspirational campaigner for #ChristianAid . 🌍

🙏 She put her faith into action by regularly speaking up for injustice when writing to and meeting her local MSPs and MP.

Be inspired today by this video about her #activism :

Really pleased to partner with Scottish Environment LINK on their first media briefing today, and to hear from brilliant speakers Richard Dixon, Satwat Rehman Just Transition Commission and Dave Powell Climate Outreach about climate targets, fairness and communications

It's a good week at SBC. On Tue we had our Open Day, we ate together & held a seminar with Eco-Congregation Scotland (see photo). Today, before we break for Easter, we celebrated communion together. Eating together, learning together, worshipping together - it's the heart of what we do!

'Scotland’s progress on climate change is being put at risk by the frosty relationship between its two governments.'

We could not agree with Chris Stark more: much deeper coordination is needed between UK and Scottish governments to deliver climate policies.

#DailyPrayer

64 organisations have signed an open letter to First Minister to express deep concerns about the delivery of Scotland's climate commitments, and to call for an emergency response to last week's Climate Change Committee report.
