Quaker Peace and Service, now called Quaker Peace and Social Witness (QPSW), is the central peace and service department of British Friends, and represents them at national level on issues of peace and social justice. It was founded after WWI as the Council for International Affairs to establish a set of Quaker embassies that would encourage dialogue and promote peace. In 1927 the Council merged with the Friends Foreign Mission Association, to form the Friends Service Council (FSC). In 1979 FSC became Quaker Peace and Service, and in 2001 it merged with Quaker Social Responsibility & Education and was renamed Quaker Peace and Social Witness.
