Agenda and notes
- Friends should read through this document in advance of Yearly Meeting as the content of Agenda and notes is referred to throughout Yearly Meeting sessions. It is an instructive, guiding document for the Yearly Meeting to help with preparations both practical and spiritual. It contains introductory material for Yearly Meeting, and the annual reports of Meeting for Sufferings, central committees, and other related bodies
Testimonies
- The Testimonies, or 'Testimonies to the Grace of God in lives' records the testimonies sent to Yearly Meeting by Area Meetings across the country of those Friends who have passed away in recent years. Testimonies radiate the Grace of God as shown in the lives of the Friends who have died. They differ from an obituary account of achievements, a few milestones in the life of the deceased serves to illuminate the spiritual gifts bestowed.
Annual report

The Annual Report will be available on the website, together with Quiet Company's annual report and financial statements when they have been approved by the relevant governance bodies. We expect BYM's annual report and accounts to be brought to Meeting for Sufferings in October 2025. The latest available Annual Report can be found on the BYM Trustees page.
