Quaker Peace & Social Witness, previously known as the Friends Service Council, and then as Quaker Peace and Service, is one of the central committees of Britain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends - the national organisation of Quakers in Britain. It works to promote British Quakers' testimonies of equality, justice, peace, simplicity and truth. It works alongside both small local and large international pressure groups.
In 1947, the then Friends Service Council shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the American counterpart American Friends Service Committee.
