02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The charity was set up to support Quakers and others to promote understanding of, and action for, peace, drawing on the principles of the Religious Society of Friends. We: - arrange meetings for our members to learn and to develop our understanding of current peace issues - run workshops and other events for Quakers and other members of the community - disseminate information and other resources, from printed literature to web-based content - collaborate with others, Quakers and non-Quakers, in developing joint activities that are consistent with our objectives. Our members are representatives of Quaker areas across the North of Britain – all of Scotland, the north of England and North Wales – who set general priorities for the work. Trustees and working groups work with and support a small paid staff in delivering our work.
