The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) is a Christian denomination with members in Ireland in each of the four Provinces - Leinster, Munster, Connacht and Ulster. In 1969, members of the Ulster Quarterly Meeting of Friends (the governing body in Ulster) established 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 assist displaced and threatened families. Over the years a range of projects was developed and the charity now employs a number of professional staff in providing its two main services - Quaker Cottage and the Monica Barritt Visitors' Centre.

Quaker Service continues to work with disadvantaged and vulnerable families and individuals, assisting them to develop their potential and striving to improve understanding, tolerance and respect.

Our work receives financial support from statutory funders, charitable trusts, Quaker Meetings and from our charity shops, Quaker Care. We are also very grateful for donations received from individual F/friends and would welcome your support. If you require more information, would like to borrow a DVD/Video about our work, or would like to assist, please contact us.
