It enables people in low incomes in East London and across the UK to seek solutions to the issues affecting their lives.

Quaker Music Network

Updated 2 December 2024

The Quaker Music Network was formed when The Leaveners was laid down. They intend to keep the tradition of Choral and Chamber Music weekends alive. These have been held for more than 30 years and enable both instrumentalists and singers to make music together in a Quaker atmosphere. In the future, it may be possible for QMN to become an umbrella for other Quaker music-making projects.
