Facing the world: Untold stories of hopeful work

‘If the city were an orchard’, Sarah Gittins, screenprint

When the future is hard to face, what shape does hope take?

Join us at the Oxford Quaker Meeting House on Friday 27 October for an evening exploring the work of hopefulness in this disturbed age. Ranging from the global to the local, we’ll hear four stories of committed hope in the face of injustice, and explore together what they mean for the workers, ourselves, and our world.

There will be cake.

7pm for 7.30pm. Finish by 9.30pm. This event is free and open to all.
