NANCY’S JEWELLERY PROJECT
An initiative to support QUAKER REFUGEE WORK
Sterling Silver Provincial Floral Emblem Pendants and Maple Leaf Brooch - designed by Quaker Refugee Committee founder, Nancy Pocock.
Nancy Pocock, a Quaker and Peace activist, founded the Quaker Committee for Refugees in the
early 1980s. The Centre for Refugees at Friends' House carries on the work that Nancy began, helping refugees and new immigrants with orientation, guidance, paper work, translation, interpretation, finding shelter, and resettlement. Weekly visits to refugee claimants in detention offer support for some of the most disadvantaged newcomers. Toronto Friends (Quakers) provide space and support but keeping this important work afloat is a constant struggle. By selecting one of Nancy’s beautiful pieces of jewellery you will make a substantial contribution to this work.
