Quakers in Britain: Our values
Quaker Recognised Bodies
These groups demonstrate some of the many interests and concerns that Quakers pursue as part of their wider commitment to their faith. Most groups meet up and organise activities - it's a great way to meet Quakers and make new contacts. Activities are usually open to non-Quakers. Do please contact a group if you are interested to know more about it.
Quaker Recognised Bodies
Capel Quaker Orchard
In April 2012, keen to demonstrate support for the Canterbury Commitment for Quakers to become a sustainable community, Capel Local Meeting organised a 'sustainability day' in the village. 'Capel goes green' and other 'green' groups in the area were invited, including members of Dorking community orchard project. During the day, the idea was born of using the large area of unused land in the grounds of Capel Meeting House to plant a community orchard.
Peace Hub – Quaker Peace & Justice Centre
As Quakers we are called to act for peace and justice. Peace Hub seeks to provide a centre from which an inclusive community is inspired to take up this call. Peace Hub is a new venture launched by Central England Quakers in November 2014.
Quaker Concern for Animals
An active group aiming to add a Quakerly voice to the animal advocacy movement. We also support many animal welfare organisations with donations, both here and abroad. We work with Friends overseas and very much value our ecumenical and interfaith links.
Quaker Disability Equality Group
This group aims to make Quakers in Britain an inclusive community. We should all be able to serve and join in equally. Impairments and disabilities should not stop anyone. We see this as part of the Quaker testimony to equality.
Quaker Esperanto Society
The society informs Quakers about Esperanto and Esperanto-speakers about Quakerism. They hold meetings and exchange information about Quaker affairs and language equality.
