This Quaker body has existed since 1913, having undertaken significant peace activities in Britain and beyond over the whole of that period. It has published hundreds of leaflets and posters that have been widely distributed and employed a full-time Secretary/Co-ordinator continuously since 1913. It is an independent body of British Quakers, with its own constitution and charitable status. It played a significant role in providing support and information to conscientious objectors during both world wars.

It is a member of the Network of Christian Peace Organisations, the International Peace Bureau and the Network for Peace.

Substantial archives are held in Friends House library and at the West Yorkshire Archive Service in Leeds (and http://catalogue.wyjs.org.uk/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=LC03521&pos=3)

In summary, it is an organisation with a significant history in terms of Quakers and the of the peace movement in Britain, as well as continuing to be active today.
