On Wednesday, representatives from The Arthur Rank Centre will be in Westminster joining thousands from across the country at the Climate Coalition’s Mass Lobby: Act Now, Change Forever. This nationwide event brings together people of all backgrounds to urge MPs to take bold action for a fairer, greener future.

As a charity supporting rural churches, farming families, and countryside communities, we know how deeply the climate crisis affects farmers, with unpredictable weather, floods, droughts, and shifting seasons threatening both livelihoods and food security. At the same time, farmers are working hard to reduce emissions, care for the land, and steward creation.

We believe the church has a vital role as a bridge-builder — helping foster dialogue between farmers, campaigners, and local communities so that we can find shared solutions that protect nature and support those who produce our food.

Our team will be at the rally, sharing stories from rural Britain, offering resources, and standing in solidarity with others calling for urgent climate action.

We’re delighted that Josh, our sixth-form work placement student will also be joining us, bringing a young person’s perspective on why caring for creation matters for future generations. We look forward to hearing and sharing their reflections on the day.

Stay tuned to our website and social media for updates from Westminster and to learn how you and your church can get involved in supporting both climate action and our farming communities.
