Although a large number of general meetings were removed from Britain Yearly Meeting's structure in 2005, some still fulfill a vital role.

Quakers who live in Scotland and Wales are part of Britain Yearly Meeting and also of general meetings: General Meeting for Scotland and Crynwyr Cymru (Quakers in Wales). These general meetings represent Quakers in their respective nations and are part of Britain Yearly Meeting's structure with certain delegated powers from Yearly Meeting. These meetings have similar functions.

Young Quakers who are between 18 and 35 years old can be part of Young Friends General Meeting. It meets formally three times a year.
