Trident was top of the agenda at a recent workshop organised by the Northern Friends Peace Board (NFPB) at Swarthmoor Hall, Cumbria.

Eighteen people attended the event, which was facilitated by Tim Wallis, Quaker Peace & Social Witness peace and disarmament programme manager. The topic was ‘Having More Productive Trident Conversations’. Philip Austin, of NFPB, told the Friend that the subject was especially relevant, given Swarthmoor Hall’s proximity to the shipyards at Barrow-in-Furness, where warships and submarines are built.
