Saturday 31st January 2015, 10am – 4pm

The Hope for the Future campaign is running a training day for anyone interested in learning how to help their church and local community engage politically with the issues surrounding climate change. We are limiting places in order to provide personalised training and quality time with our speakers Steven Croft, the Bishop of Sheffield, and Paul Blomfield MP.

The day will include:

A talk from the Bishop of Sheffield, Steven Croft, about how faith aids us in tackling climate change.
Paul Blomfield MP will be talking to us about the most effective way of lobbying our MPs.
Climate change from the perspective of the overseas church.
Examining the barriers to effective action on climate change and how we can overcome them.
Practical action we can take.

The day is free but we are asking for a donation of £10 per person to help cover the running costs.

Current Campaigns

Don't let corporate courts block climate action.
Corporate courts give fossil fuel companies the power to sue governments for taking action on the climate emergency. They are an obstacle to a clean energy transition and to achieving climate justice. Tell Boris Johnson and the trade department not to let corporate courts block climate action.

Suspend patents on Covid-19 vaccines.
We are facing a global scarcity of vaccines because big pharma patents and corporate secrecy prevent other manufacturers from making them. We need the government to remove the barriers to ramp up global supply and ensure fair allocation of vaccines. No one is safe until everyone is safe. Join the campaign for A People's Vaccine.
