🇳🇵 Nepal Floods Response

In light of the devastating floods in Nepal, WDR has provided an immediate emergency grant of £3,000 (€3,500) to our partner, Kopila Nepal based in Pokhara.

NGOs in the country are being asked to help in whatever way they can. This emergency funding will enable Kopila to respond by providing counsellors and carers to local hospitals, supporting survivors and families who have lost loved ones.

Many Kopila staff are social workers and are well equipped to offer this expert care. In Bina Silwal's (Director of Kopila) words, Kopila staff are there to support those with "tearful eyes and painful hearts".

We are thankful that Kopila’s own work has not been directly impacted and that all their staff are safe.

It is your support that makes it possible for WDR to respond with financial assistance to our partners in times of great need. Thank you for standing with us and our global partners.

If you would like to support the wider relief effort, we would encourage you to donate through our sister agency, Christian Aid Ireland's Appeal: https://give.christianaid.ie/donate/cam-013106

🙏 Please pray for:
- Those who have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods
- Kopila’s counsellors and carers as they support survivors and families
- The safety and wellbeing of all those affected by the floods

On Wednesday 12th August 2026, a solar eclipse will darken the skies across Western Europe in an event of awe and wonder.

Such a spectacular event presents us with the opportunity to share the wonder of God with others. Along with the Methodist Church in Great Britain, we invite you to get involved with a Day of Outreach.

There are many ways to get involved – whether in a church garden or at the top of a local hill, by hosting a lively family barbeque or a space for a quiet reflection, it’s a chance for science and faith dialogue about wellbeing, awe and wonder.
Could your Church or worshipping community host a viewing party and extend the invitation to others?
