Mon 14th – Thurs 17th April

What are Quaker Voluntary Action Retreats?

Our working retreats are a way to share a short period of time with other volunteers making a difference to a local project.  We also hold retreats where the main focus is encounter with places and people who are upholding concerns of global significance such as cross-community peace initiatives or environmental work.  In these cases, the objectives are support, education and advocacy.

You do not have to identify as a Quaker, or be a member or attender of a Quaker meeting to participate in one of our retreats. However, it is expected that you will participate fully all parts of a retreat which you are able to, including sessions that are held in the manner of Quakers. It is also expected that Quaker values are upheld throughout the retreat and that we all have a common understanding of respect for each others beliefs, so that we can create a safe and fun environment for everyone.
