Write to your MP
Write to your MP about the debt crisis, which is vitally important as we call for urgent action in this Jubilee Year.
This Jubilee year has been incredible thanks to you! At the start of the Jubilee, Pope Francis asked us to be Pilgrims of Hope, and you listened by acting as tangible signs of hope.
You did so much in 2025!
Together, we’ve worked to build a better world, even in the face of huge challenges – from the climate crisis to conflict, and from poverty to injustice.
Thanks to your kindness and compassion, we’ve been able to stand alongside communities and local experts. You are helping your sisters and brothers around the world create real, lasting change.
If you haven’t thought about your New Year’s resolutions for 2026 yet, don’t worry – you’re not alone! To give you a little inspiration, CAFOD staff are sharing how they’ll be using their resolutions to live out their faith and keep making a difference in the year ahead.
1. Give
Hannah Patterson – fundraising:
“I’m always so inspired by the generosity of the Catholic community in England and Wales, who come together to support our global family. Many people do this through giving a monthly gift to CAFOD.
"It helps our amazing local experts to be there for a community before, during and after a crisis – big or small.”
You’ll receive our weekly email reflections include reflections on the Sunday gospel, and updates about how you and the wider CAFOD family can give, act and pray with us throughout the year.
If you'd prefer, you can sign up for weekly reflections without pledging a monthly donation.
2. Act
Helen Moseley - advocacy and campaigning:
"Taking inspiration from the hope we shared in the Jubilee year, I’ll be continuing to campaign on the global debt crisis, which is having a devastating impact on low-income countries. The UK government could take a practical step towards addressing this – please can you raise it with your MP?”
3. Pray
Catherine Gorman – theology:
“Making more time for prayer is something that many of us try to do as part of our New Year's resolution. If it's one of yours this year, why not sign up to our weekly emails? These short reflections on the Sunday gospel encourage us to take a moment and make space for prayer in our busy lives."
Sign up to receive weekly reflections
Make a monthly donation and you'll receive a weekly reflection on the gospel during the Year of Jubilee.
4. Walk
Neil Roper – events:
"One of my resolutions for change in 2026 will be to challenge myself to take on CAFOD’s Big Lent Walk and raise money to help families who need safe drinking water. I’ll be doing a mixture of running and walking, but you can do however you want. You can also get your school involved and join thousands of other children and young people!
“We want to offer our thanks to the hundreds of thousands of individuals, parishes and children who walked together last year as part of the Big Lent Walk and fundraised for a better world.”
5. Pledge
Lily Bliss – Gifts in Wills
“With each New Year comes the chance to make a meaningful resolution, one that can improve your life and the lives of others. This year you might choose to write or update your Will, giving you peace of mind that your plans are in place and your loved ones are supported.
"By also pledging a gift in your Will to CAFOD, you can make a big difference to the lives of our sisters and brothers around the world. Your kindness now means you can be there for them in the years to come, continuing to support our neighbours in the fight against injustice and poverty.”
