A message from our community fundraiser, Katie Frost:

Quakers work for a better, fairer and sustainable world. We express our faith in action, standing alongside people who face injustice, violence and disadvantage. Our work is pioneering and inspiring, and we show how the Quaker way can change attitudes and open possibilities.

Quakers work both locally and globally.  Quakers up and down Britain open their meeting houses to community groups and forge links with local faith and social organisations. And across the world, Quakers work for peace, social justice, an end to conflict. On behalf of British Quakers, Britain Yearly Meeting supports peacemakers in east Africa, stands with the poor in India, speaks truthfully to the people in power at the UN in Geneva. And you can help.

Supporting Quaker work

Fundraising isn't just about income for our projects: it can be fun, bring people together, and strengthen the life and witness of our meetings.
