Ian Kirk-Smith considers some recent events at Friends House

by Ian Kirk-Smith 30th January 2015

For the past few weeks there has been a protest, mostly on a Monday, just after noon outside the front doors of the headquarters of British Quakerism: Friends House in central London.

The protesters are urging Friends House to ‘reinstate their staff’. The staff in this case refers to people who were employed on zero-hours contracts and who are now no longer employed at Friends House.
