In our bonus episodes, we speak to women from our Women's Interfaith Network (WIN) community to share their stories and give their own unique perspectives on keeping faith.

In our third bonus episode, Lucy Calcott from WIN’s East Sussex Group shares what interfaith means to her, how she keeps faith in dark times and her advice for someone thinking of getting involved with interfaith work.

You can find out more about Lucy's artwork and writing here, or listen to her poetry reading shared as part of WIN's 2020 Interfaith Week commemorations, 'Unexpected Connections'. You can also find out more about Compass Community Arts here.

Why do so many women and marginalised communities feel silenced in medical settings? How do we keep faith in ourselves when we feel we aren’t being heard? Can we empower patients and providers to make sure everyone feels listened to in healthcare?

In this episode we speak to NHS consultant and researcher Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan, author of the new book 'Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing', which unpacks why patients are so often disbelieved by their doctors and her hopes for a future where listening is at the heart of healthcare.

Follow Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan on Twitter/X, Instagram or via her website. Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing is available now as a hardback, ebook and audiobook.

Can we keep faith in meaningful institutional change, even when we can't see the way forward? How can we shift the narrative around migration to one that centres compassion? And what does it look like to really live our values?

We unpack these questions in this uplifting conversation with the Bishop of Dover, Rose Hudson-Wilkin: the first Black woman to be ordained as a Bishop in the Church of England as well as the first woman and person of colour to become Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons.

You can follow Bishop Rose's work with the Diocese of Canterbury on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Listen to Bishop Rose's recent address at Women and The Church (WATCH)'s recent Not Equal Yet conference here.

Support some of the organisations helping migrants and refugees in Dover:

• The Samphire Project
• Kent Refugee Action Network
• Migrant Help UK

You can also get involved with City of Sanctuary and Borough of Sanctuary networks near you.
