Quaker Service

The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) is a Christian denomination with members in Ireland in three of the four Provinces - Leinster, Munster and Ulster. In 1969, members of the Ulster Quarterly Meeting of Friends (the governing body in Ulster) founded the Ulster Quaker Service Committee (UQSC) in response to the emerging conflict in Northern Ireland. UQSC became incorporated in March 2007 and changed its name to Quaker Service. Initially the agency worked with volunteers to help displaced and threatened families.
