The guiding principle behind its creation was to enable young Friends (Quakers) with the opportunity to serve their country without sacrificing their pacifist principles.

Ms Palfreeman, a lecturer in journalism at the University of Cardenal Herrera, Elche, Spain, will be talking about the humanitarian aid administered by the Friends’ Ambulance Unit during the Great War.

The talk will take place on Monday, November 5 from 6.30pm in the school hall and all are welcome.
