  • A Call to Pray for World Peace and to Study Related Issues
    A CALL TO PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE AND TO STUDY RELATED ISSUES Believing that God is calling us to pray with new purpose and deeper understanding for peace and justice among all men we invite Qur fellow believer6 of all faiths to join in a WEEK OF PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE from 20 - 27 October 1974. The week has been chosen to include United Nations Day. 24 October. The Week of Prayer for World Peace will be inaugurated on Saturday. 19 October "at a service to be held at Westminster Abbey at 3 p.m •• when the Archbishop of Canterbury will be the preacher. We hope this special Week will provide an annual occasion when Christians and members of other faiths may, ·in the words of the Lambeth Conference, ·subject to intense prayer and study their attitude to the issues involved in modern warfare-. There will be a need to follow up and surround such prayer with a study of those contemporary problems which lead to conflict: the issues that create injustice, notably world poverty and the deni al of human rights; and those factors such as race, colour, political ideology, economic status and language which separate people from one another.· As today Christians pray together during January for the deeper unity of the Church, so we now call upon men and women of all faiths to pray in unity for world peace and for the unity of all mankind. Penitence will need to be an essential feature of this united act of prayer so that we may all of us not only learn from past errors, but also be open to the fresh insights which the unprecedented modern situation demands.

  • Supporting the Community of Barnes
    Supporting the community of Barnes Annual Review 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR A warm welcome to this review of our activities in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic made this, of course, an unprecedented year. And for many residents, the adverse impact on their wellbeing has been further aggravated by the continued closure of Hammersmith Bridge. We have reported here the steps that we took to increase targeted grant- making - both last spring in the initial lockdown, and then again earlier this year to support school children with online learning. Referrals for grants to individuals also continue to grow. At Walsingham Lodge, we welcomed two new residents in 2020, and worked closely with the managing agent to minimise the risk of infection. While prioritising the pandemic response, we also took time in 2020 to pursue various initiatives to mark our 50th anniversary. Early in the year we changed our name and launched a new website, as well as renovating the communal lounge at Walsingham Lodge. In the autumn we invited a group of Barnes stakeholders to come together to oversee research on need in Barnes. We hope the resulting report, due to be published in June 2021 on our website, will be a resource for the entire community, as well as a tool to help us maximise the effectiveness of our future grant making. Finally in 2020, we started considering the ways in which the Fund can protect the environment. While acknowledging that we have much to learn and do, we have now published a policy setting out our approach, and including the steps we have taken to date, and those we are considering for the future.
