Tearfund at launch of their Rubbish Campaign

Tearfund

 I joined the charity Tearfund to launch their #RubbishCampaign.

2 billion people have no safe way to dispose of rubbish, many are forced to dump or burn it.

This makes people sick, releases toxic fumes, floods communities and causes up to a million deaths a year - as well as causing huge damage to rivers, seas and oceans.

During 2023 and 2024 delegates from governments around the world are meeting to discuss a global treaty on #PlasticPollution. 🌎

Tearfund are asking them not to throw away this opportunity!

Visit to Farleigh Hospice

I spent a very moving few hours at the Farleigh Hospice today, talking with some of people they are caring for, families, staff, volunteers and fundraisers.
