Say no to illegal timber: the final push

The regulations have been written and negotiated on. We got more than we expected, though there’s plenty of time to tighten up the legislation. Now we’re pushing for a resounding vote from the European Parliament.

Head over to our Take action page to take the online action right now, read stories and pictures of affected communities, and download resources to use in your church and workplace.

Progressio’s 70th anniversary year

This August we’re 70. Like all big birthdays it’s a time for celebrating, reminiscing, sharing stories and making plans.
 
And we’re very keen to hear from friends old and new, Members and former staff with their favourite Progressio, CIIR or ‘Sword’ stories and photos.
 
To share your memories, please email [email protected] or write to ‘Celebrating 70 in style’ at the usual address.
