Representatives to other European Yearly Meetings

Serve for one weekend a year, experience travel across Europe, form fellowship with Friends across the continent!

Each year, BYM nominates representatives who visit other Yearly Meetings across Europe. These short service opportunities usually take place over one weekend, once per year. Appointed Friends most often serve at two Yearly Meetings.

Can you speak French, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, or Polish? who may be available and willing to serve in 2025 or future years to be visiting representatives to a different Yearly Meeting. Travel expenses and accommodation costs are covered.

2025 Yearly Meeting dates and locations are published on the Friends World Committee for Consultation Calendar (offsite link).

Please complete an Expression of Interest Form to let us know you're interested in this opportunity.

To discuss this opportunity in more detail, please get in touch with the Nominations team by email (nominations@quaker.org.uk).

Please be aware that enquiries are ongoing with a rolling deadline.

Central Nominations

Do you have a talent for seeing the gifts in others? Can you offer your support to help Quakers across Britain thrive?

We are looking for Friends of all ages to join Central Nominations Committee, a group dedicated to strengthening and supporting nominations within the Yearly Meeting. By joining, you become part of a vibrant community of passionate and committed committee members working together to build something meaningful.

We actively seek Friends who are inspired by the notion that our community is created and upheld by us all, not by a 'chosen few'.

Would you like to be a part of this journey? On Central Nominations Committee, we see the gifts in others and speak to the divine spark within every person.

Friends are invited to serve for 1-3 years.

If this resonates, we'd love to hear from you! Complete an Expression of Interest Form and a member of our team will get in touch.

I'm curious about other Quaker service!

We are seeking Friends to serve in many ways, all year round. There are so many ways to get involved, if you have a few weeks to give or are looking for opportunities in the longer term.
