In the birth of Christ, hope entered the world quietly among the poor, the overlooked, and the weary. That same hope still calls to us today.
As we look to the future, we carry a faith that does not turn away from the world’s brokenness, but steps into it with love.

As one year comes to a close and another begins, we remember that God’s care does not end at the turning of the calendar.
In our coming and our going, in moments of action and of rest, God remains with us.

This year at #LabourConference25 we were pleased to partner with CAFOD, Oxfam, LabourCID & Islamic Relief UK on the role of faith in international development.
It was a positive and hopeful panel and together we made the case for keeping international development at the heart of foreign policy.

Horrendous to emerge from the peace of church this morning to news of the Bondi Beach attack. Praying for all those involved & for all our Jewish brothers and sisters marking Chanukah, light in a dark world.

In 2025, we spoke out for families and children, because faith demands justice.
We are particularly thankful for the recent budget result, building on our prayers and calls to the Government.

As we prepare for Christmas, we give thanks for the hope that inspires our politics and for the year that has been.
These words from John remind us that hope is resilient. So may Christ’s light renew our courage, deepen our compassion, and draw us into a politics shaped by love.

Every church leader, community volunteer, teacher I know has anecdotes about the depth of child poverty. This might feel like one for the data nerds, but it will be hugely powerful in policy terms.
The pledge to collect data tracking deep material poverty will put numbers to the reality that our members – through churches, community work, education and beyond – are all too well aware of, and better enable policy to meet the challenge of eradicating it. (3/4)

Ending child poverty is fundamental to our vision and values, both as Christians and of the Labour Party. The plans outlined in today's Child Poverty Strategy to lift the children of this country out of poverty are both bold and morally right. (1/4)

Hope isn’t wishful thinking, it’s an act of faithful resistance.
In a world that often tells us to expect the worst, hope tells us a different story:
that transformation is possible,
that compassion is powerful,
and that justice is worth pursuing.

Ahead of today's budget our director, Hannah Rich, has written for Mainstream about how we need the moral courage in government to make decisions like ending the two child benefit limit simply because they’re the right thing to do.
