QAADRANT
QAAD's quarterly newsletter
QAADRANT is our quarterly newsletter which contains a combination of news, articles, reflections and information. It is circulated as an insert in the Quaker journal the Friend, and also by post on request. We know that it finds its way into many circles through Friends’ initiatives, including prisons and treatment agencies. The current and recent issues can be viewed using the links below.
We welcome contributions from Friends on any subject within our concern, up to a maximum of 1,000 words. These can be on the impact of addiction; the experience of recovery; views on policy or social issues; book or media reviews; and poetry. If you would like to write for us, please contact Alison Mather, who will be pleased to give you more information.
QAADRANT is edited by a small group of trustees and our Director.
