We run digital marketing campaigns across the Great Britain, encouraging people to sign up to our email newsletter, attend Zoom calls, complete quizzes and generally learn more about Quakers. We recently launched our new platform which connects people who are interested in Quakers with their Local Meeting - sign your local meeting up now!
'Welcoming everyone regardless of religious beliefs... then the idea of communal silence/ meditation feels pleasant.'
'I like the non-conformist ideals and also that belief in a higher power is not required or expected.'
'Curious to discover that you don't need to be religious.'
'A lot of their beliefs make sense.'
'I've always had an interest but have never looked into it.'
'Freedom to believe in God or not but still have the opportunity to sit with others in contemplation.'
Join our Outreach Forum
We host an outreach forum every second Thursday of the month at 1pm. The session is held on Zoom, and is for Quakers to learn more about our outreach initiatives, our services for local and area meetings, and how to get involved.
