The climate and nature crisis is no longer a warning about the future. It’s here and now.

Communities can’t wait while wildfires, floods and droughts devastate homes, harvests and livelihoods.
burnham has a choice: prioritise people or polluters. That’s why we’re calling on him to take stronger action to Secure Our Future and:

- Reject all new oil and gas licences, including Rosebank
- Meet the UK's international climate and nature commitments
- Pass the Nature + National Security Bill

Register for Restart a Heart Live

The annual public awareness live-stream event Restart a Heart Live is back on 1 October 2026. It aims to offer CPR familiarisation to as many people as possible by live streaming sessions to living rooms, classrooms and workplaces. Delivered by Resuscitation Council UK, Save a Life Cymru and other partners, the goal is to train one million people across the UK by 2027.

To join the event, register your interest at www.restartaheart.live so that you can receive email updates and reminders of the event and also the live link on 1 October. You can register as an individual, family or community group. A timetable of events will be available closer to the time.

Earlier this year, NFWI-Wales and Save a Life Cymru launched a CPR video for members. The video is available to watch here: https://www.thewi.org.uk/wi-in-wales/campaigns/bystanders-can-be-lifesavers

Please help us share the video widely.

We welcome the Prime Minister's commitment to offer all rough sleepers housing over Christmas. WI members are calling for action to support homeless women through our new campaign, launching soon.

Vulnerable women are often invisible in official figures because they rarely sleep rough. Many spend nights walking, sofa surfing, or remaining with abusive partners rather than sleeping on the streets. The first step must be to count everyone experiencing homelessness.

We are encouraging WI members to write to their local council and urge them to participate in the Rough Sleeping Women's Census. Find out more about the census at Women’s Rough Sleeping Census - Solace Womens Aid and you can contact the Public Affairs team for a letter you can send to your local council.
