by The Friend Newsdesk 2nd September 2011

  The Gordon Barclay Vietnam Fund (GBVF) has been laid down.  Ratcliffe and Barking Monthly Meeting established the fund in 1968 when the Vietnam war was at its height and it became an independent registered charity in 1971 with Quaker trustees. The trustees met earlier this summer at the nursing home where Gordon Barclay is now living and agreed ‘with regret’ to proceed with laying down of the GBVF.
