Actions for May 2026

Last November politicians, business and community leaders were briefed by ten of the UK’s leading experts on the implications of climate and nature breakdown on health, food systems, national security and the economy. A film has been produced to share this information with the community. Try to attend the next screening which will take place at 7pm on 15th May at Victoria Institute in Caton.

World Bee Day was established by United Nations. It is held on 20th May as a vital reminder of the critical role bees and other pollinators play in global food security, biodiversity and ecosystem health. Make sure you play your part by planting native bee friendly flowers and avoiding use of pesticides especially on plants that are their food. 

24th May

With rising temperatures, collapsing ecosystems and disruptive weather extremes you may feel overwhelmed and powerless to make a difference. However as Christians we have a biblical obligation to care for creation. So whatever you do whether its practical action, environmental campaigning or just leading by example remember that we are not alone, God is working through us and with us.

31st May

World Environment Day will be held on 5th June with the aim of rallying the world around the urgency of climate action. This year it will highlight that climate action is not just about reducing carbon emissions but about governments rethinking the systems that power our economies. Share any inspiration you have about changes you could make in your life with other people, especially with those at church, to help secure a safer, healthier and more just future for all.
