Britain Yearly Meeting is a charity that works with and on behalf of all Quakers in Britain – supporting the Quaker community, speaking out in the world and acting to promote peace, justice, equality and sustainability. Open to inspiration, grounded in faith We support the Quaker governance and decision-making bodies that mean all of our work is open to inspiration and grounded in faith. We support local Quaker meetings across Britain and build links with other churches and faiths. Sharing our vision We work to build public awareness and understanding of who Quakers are and of the things that matter to us. Working for change We act on Quaker concerns at home and abroad, helping to change our world for the better. We work with peacebuilders in East Africa, South Asia, Palestine and Israel. Our workshops, courses and resources equip groups at the grassroots to work for nonviolent social change. We challenge militarism and the arms trade, promote peace education and support the peace movement in Britain. We work for a more compassionate criminal justice system, fairer housing and an economic system with equality, justice and environmental sustainability at its heart. We campaign for action on climate change and support Quakers in Britain to become a low-carbon, sustainable community.

What a wonderful Sunday! After months of planning with our partners at Symphonova and the Weiner Holocaust Library, our Commenmoration event for Dr. Alfred Bader, Kindertransport survivor and philanthropist whose foundation Bader Philanthropies continues to support the work of Quakers in Britain happened! At this event, two pieces of music composed by composers who suffered under the Nazi regime were performed for the first time and speakers from Quakers, Weiner and Cambridge University spoke about their work which Alfreds Baders legacy continues to support.
