Our project Peace Hub have prepared an annual report for 2025 – which we hope will be of interest to Friends, and will serve to demonstrate the valuable work that the Peace Hub is undertaking for the Area Meeting. 2025 saw a new start for Peace Hub, implementing our new strategy, and making use of greater flexibility to connect with and support a wide range of community and volunteer-led groups taking action for peace & social justice.

A pdf file can be downloaded below, and one paper copy will be sent to each Meeting but additional copies are available from the CEQ Office on request.

We hope the report leaves you feeling inspired to act for peace and social justice – maybe you are unsure where to begin, or perhaps already taking action with Quakers or other groups. However you are feeling the call to peace, the Peace Hub Action Group (formerly the Focus Group) is a supportive space to explore concerns arising, share mutual support, and inform the direction of Peace Hub’s work. Join us on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 6pm online – read more and register for the Zoom details.

In March, Peace Hub launched an appeal to Local Meetings for financial support in 2026. We are very grateful to the Meetings that have already responded and hope that other Meetings are considering either a donation from funds or a special collection. We know that there are many calls on your Meeting finances, but a donation towards our salary cost, however small, will be really welcome this year.
