These groups demonstrate some of the many interests and concerns that Quakers pursue as part of their wider commitment to their faith. Most groups meet up and organise activities - it's a great way to meet Quakers and make new contacts. Activities are usually open to non-Quakers. Do please contact a group if you are interested to know more about it.

The Green Olive Trust provides educational opportunities for children in rural Western Kenya. This is an area where there is widespread poverty. Many children are orphaned as a result of violent conflict, and AIDS and other diseases. Primary education is free in Kenya but many children are prevented by lack of funding from progressing to high school and university. The project arises out of personal contacts between Quakers in Lewes, UK and Quakers in Kenya. The Green Olive Foundation in Kenya works closely with the schools in the region.
