Welcome To The South Somerset Peace Group

• The group is open to people of all faiths and none, and of all political parties and none.
• We seek to explore the alternatives to war, and to inform ourselves and others about them.
• We want to further the cause of peace by peaceful means.
• We strive for justice and opportunities for all, so that hatred and violence will not have a chance to grow.
• We aim to support those whom war has harmed so that they may share in the benefits of peace.
• Our adopted charity is Handicap International. Please visit: Handicap International

On the 4th Tuesday of every month we have an open meeting which is devoted to a particular subject, usually with a speaker or a video and always with a discussion. It is held at the Minster Rooms (across the entrance to the Minster Church) in Ilminster, at 7.30 pm, entry £3.- if you can afford it.

We have a Israel/Palestine subgroup, which supports Israel and Palestinian peace groups and educates themselves on this complex subject. For details please contact 01460 30228 or heronho@aol.com

On the Saturday before our monthly meeting we hold a Vigil from 11 till noon. The place varies, see our programme. The aim of the vigils is to express our sorrow about the suffering caused by war; to make sure that the victims are not forgotten; and to remind ourselves and others that we should do everything in our power to solve conflicts without resort to violence. Please join us if you like.
