Extraordinary Women: Celebrating the heritage of St Nicholas, Sutton: This year, to mark the centenary of when women first gained the right to vote, St Nicholas will be hosting an exhibition and series of events in September celebrating the lives of some of the Extraordinary Women who are connected with St Nicholas. The story will stretch from the glorious revolution of the 17th century to the genderquake of the 21st century, from court beauties to the first woman Bishop of London. These events will form part of the National Trust Heritage Open Days and Open House London. If you want to learn more about how you can help, then show your interest by letting John Kerr or Richard West know.

There is an extraordinary concentration of church history on the streets of London... London Christians have changed the world. Many of them have history within walking distance of each other, and many of them were admirers of the example of the others. Sites associated with Wilberforce, Tyndale, Wesley, Whitefield, Elizabeth Fry, John Newton and many others. Christian Heritage London exists to draw attention to that gospel, to equip churches and to serve the purposes of God in this generation. A Christian Heritage London day includes a tour of the British Museum and a guided walk in the City of London. It is possible to come just for the British Museum or the City component.

water and basic sanitation is one of the most cost-effective ways to release people from poverty: for every £1 spent on water and sanitation, more than £5 is returned through saved time, increased productivity and reduced health costs. Community-led total sanitation…It’s a bit of a mouthful but it’s development-speak for the special approach Toilet Twinning and its partners take. 1 in 3 people across the world don’t have somewhere safe to go to the toilet. Bad sanitation is one of the world’s biggest killers: it hits women, children, old and sick people hardest. Around half the people in the world have an illness caused by bad sanitation. Over decades of learning, it’s become clear that sanitation projects work best when local people see the need for improved sanitation – and make that change happen themselves. We strongly believe that the best way to bring transformation in poor communities is to work with them, rather than doing things for them. It’s all about dignity and self-respect. But before latrine-building starts, there’s hygiene education on practices such as handwashing. This is key to behaviour change in the long term. Our partners involve local people in deciding on the design and materials to be used in latrine building. This means latrines are both appropriate and affordable. People generally build their own latrine, and this means they are much more likely to continue to use it, and maintain it – ensuring the project is sustainable.
