We are shocked to hear of the tragic death of Sir David Amess. He has been an active and valued supporter of Girlguiding who regularly attended many of our local events. This news comes with great sadness. Our thoughts are with his family.

The news of continued violence against women is very hard to read. Our thoughts are with Sarah, Sabina and the many other women who have lost their lives. If you would like support with these issues, here are some organisations you can reach out to

In 25yrs AIL built a foundation to grow upon for Millions of Afghan’s. We cannot accept that education is limited to gender or age groups. #education for all is 🔑. #women make the greatest contribution to a country’s success. Recognize #WomensRights #Afghanishtan #AfghanWomen

@AIL_ngo meeting with Taliban; this photo alone speaks many words…. However right now, we are just thankful our programs are still safely running-Although with certain conditions given; AIL has been *recognized as vital* within our communities & will continue to serve 🇦🇫✌🏼📚🤍

Discriminating based on gender, social/ economic status, religion, etc. These women still achieved what was needed to take their place in society. They deserve the opportunity to succeed& represent AFG. #women are half the population; they define #Afganistan 🇦🇫 ‘s strength.

Women protest in AFG today. “We stand together, we will not surrender out of fear, we demand our rights to be valued” These women want their lives back, all the progress achieved— they want equal opportunity. Even when sectors showed preferences NOT based on qualifications&skills

UN Women remains fully committed to support women and girls in Afghanistan. @unwomenafghan will #StayAndDeliver and remain operational and engaged with our partners at this critical juncture for the country. Statement: https://t.co/1o2YQ5ymAL

our heart-felt thoughts are with the girls and women of Afghanistan. It's hard to know what to do and I know I feel helpless. So I will carry on supporting those NGOs and other orgs and individuals, who can help. @Girlguiding has this resource too:

Dearest friends, supporters& colleagues, My heart has been overwhelmed with gratitude; I am sincerely thankful for the amount of outreach in the last week. As AIL works the frontlines during this perilous time, we are determined to serve our people— 35M in need* AIL update:

I am very saddened to hear of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and offer our condolences to our Patron, Her Majesty The Queen and the whole royal family at this very sad time.

many practices weren’t allowed these last 3 days of the Triduum: I especially missed the Easter fire last night, the dark church getting lighter as 1 candle light was passed on & on. The light & life is especially welcome this year. Happy Easter, Passover, holidays everyone
