Strategic Priorities 2026-2030 The Trustees Strategic Priorities set out the key aims for the centrally managed work of Quakers in Britain from 2026 to 2030. It results from consultation and discernment by Meeting for Sufferings, Britain Yearly Meeting Trustees and staff, and builds on Our Faith in the Future, agreed in 2015. The priorities are organised under our four charitable purposes: sustaining church and faith, supporting Quaker communities, promoting Quakerism, and faith in action. We see the first as the root from which the others grow. We are, before anything else, a worshipping community, and our work in the world flows from that. We offer these priorities as a framework, not a fixed plan. The years ahead will ask a lot of us. We are living through a time of climate breakdown, widening inequality, war, and growing division. Our own community is changing too. Our demographics are shifting, we are gathering in new ways. We are making a once-in-a-generation change to Yearly Meeting that will reshape how we make decisions together and gather as a national community. There is real hope in this moment. Many people today describe themselves as spiritual seekers, and more young adults are looking for an honest, simple faith. Quakers have something to offer them: a living spiritual tradition, a trusted voice, and a readiness to stay with hard questions over the long term. What follows is our shared sense of where we are called to put our energy, our money and our love.
