The time to act is now.

The UK is blocking a just transition at the #COP30 climate talks in Belém, Brazil.

When Susan lost her sister, Jemma, she and her family struggled to cover the funeral costs.

The financial stress affected her ability to grieve.

Join the call to widen the eligibility criteria and #FixTheFEP.
✍️ Email your MP today and hear Susan’s story – bit.ly/49mffO2 #GriefIsHardEnough
A graphic styled like a page from a notebook, with a picture of a woman labelled as Susan, '#FixTheFEP', the Quaker Social Action logo and a quote from Susan: 'I was on Carers Allowance for supporting my dad and it was topped up by Universal Credit - so I would have been eligible to get the help [with funeral costs] off the DWP. And they said no. I felt numb in a way, because you put off that grieving process and you deal with the finance side of it. I don’t know where my mental health was. People do need that help and support.'

“Not having that time to process anything – it was mind-blowing, literally mind-blowing.” - Susan

The Funeral Expenses Payment (FEP) eligibility criteria are narrow and don’t reflect real life.

Grief is hard enough. It’s time to #FixTheFEP.

60 countries still have conscription, with 23 more exploring it.

In Turkey, declaring yourself a CO can mean prison and a “civil death.” In Algeria, COs are treated as deserters.
