A large proportion of The Priory Rooms’ profits are donated to Central England Quakers. This autumn two of their projects, Peacemakers and Northfield Eco-centre, recruited new staff to expand their successful initiatives within the community.

Peacemakers unite education practitioners committed to promoting Education for Peace in schools. They welcomed Adrian Platt to the team as Operations Administrator. Adrian recently relocated to Birmingham after a year exploring international communities in the US and UK. He will support the smooth running of all the work Peacemakers do with existing and partner schools. Adrian was a timely addition as the autumn term quickly become one of Peacemakers’ busiest yet! Their 6 trainers are now working in a record breaking 20 schools across the region. They are also preparing to co-host the forth Peaceful Schools Conference in London, June 2016.

Northfield Eco-centre welcomed Jonathan Saner (pictured) as Business Development Manager. Jonathan will focus mainly on promoting the Eco-centre’s Energy and Education activities. The team say Jonathan is a great asset to folllowing their busy autumn agenda. They recently hosted Autumn Ecokids sessions; autumnal adventures playing with the wonderful colours of nature, and the annual Urban Harvest; picked fruit was donated to local children’s centres, homeless projects, schools and elderly care homes.

The Priory Rooms send them their congratulations!
