Bernice Boore, a member of St Andrew’s United Reformed Church (URC) in Reading, has won the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) 2020 South East Black History Month ‘Making a Difference’ Award.

As part of the RCN South East region’s Black History Month celebrations, around 60,000 members were asked to nominate individuals who had made a real difference in the delivery of healthcare.

Community stories take centre stage in this month’s edition of Reform magazine: from a pop up craft cafe in Gloucestershire to an award-winning gardening project in North Yorkshire, it celebrates the life and creativity of local churches.

United Reformed Church Youth (URC Youth) is calling on members of the denomination to urge the government to make a U-turn over its decision to not provide 1.4million disadvantaged children in England with food vouchers during the school holidays.
