Huddersfield Quakers have decided to divest from companies with links to the coal, oil and gas sectors. The decision was taken at a Meeting held earlier this month in the Meeting house in Paddock.

The Local Meeting has financial reserves of approximately £35,000. All investments and bank holdings will be reviewed with immediate effect and any connected with fossil fuel investments will be dropped.
