Contribution 2026:
Lighting the Way

"As your Yearly Meeting Treasurer for nearly three years now, I've been moved by the generosity, commitment, and spiritual depth with which Friends support Quaker work. Thank you.
The theme of this year's contribution materials is Lighting the Way: Quaker Witness in Troubled Times. They reflect how Friends, led by Spirit and conscience, respond to crises with compassion and conviction. From peace education in British classrooms to civic reconciliation in Burundi, your contributions have helped Quaker witness shine in difficult times."

Paul Whitehouse, BYM Treasurer
