Quakers were among those participating in a ‘disinvestment party’ on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral (see above) on Saturday 25 October.

The event was held to celebrate the growing number of churches and faith groups around the world disinvesting from fossil fuels. Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) was the first Christian denomination to do so in the UK, followed by Brighthelm Church.
