Britain Yearly Meeting finances in good shape
‘The work discerned by Quakers across the Yearly Meeting (YM) is more vital than ever at this time of climate injustice, a cost-of-living crisis and two violent conflicts on the edge of Europe.’
According to Britain Yearly Meeting’s (BYM) most recent accounts, more money was spent on Quaker work in 2022 than in 2021, with 2023 looking like another strong year. BYM says that this means it ‘will be able to maintain its momentum’.
‘The work discerned by Quakers across the Yearly Meeting (YM) is more vital than ever at this time of climate injustice, a cost-of-living crisis and two violent conflicts on the edge of Europe,’ BYM said in a statement.
Paul Whitehouse, BYM treasurer, said: ‘This year, my first year as BYM treasurer, has been both challenging and rewarding. As many of you know, we’ve struggled with a change to our systems, causing a delay to the accounts. But our financial position is strong – our investments have recovered after a drop last year and income remains steady.’
Registered Friends will have an opportunity to ask Caroline Nursey, clerk of trustees, and Paul Whitehouse, treasurer, about the 2022 annual report and financial statement at a special online session on Wednesday, 29 November, from 7-8pm.
