For most Quakers the local meeting is their worshipping community. All meetings are different and will reflect the areas in which they meet.

Local meetings:

  • hold meetings for worship
  • welcome newcomers and encourage people of all ages to be involved in the Quaker community
  • manage local issues, including taking care of premises and working with other churches and faith communities
  • keep in touch with the area meeting.

Contacting local meetings

You can find your nearest Quaker meeting by using the Find a meeting function at www.quaker.org.uk/meetings. There is usually a phone number and contact form for each meeting.

If you need to contact a specific role holder or individual, you can contact staff at updates@quaker.org.uk. They can forward emails. They cannot give out individuals' contact details.

If you want to contact all local meetings, nationally or in a given area, you can request a list of postal or email addresses from updates@quaker.org.uk.
