Introducing Quakers
Quakers are a free-thinking faith organisation. We are people of differing spiritual beliefs, lifestyles and social backgrounds, and we welcome everyone. We have no ‘creed’ or dogma. Instead, we encourage people to believe only what they have experienced for themselves.
More than what we believe, we are brought together by what we do.
