Thirty-eight Young Friends attended the annual Young People’s Participation Day at Friends House. Meeting for Sufferings heard details of their activities and discussions when the group joined Friends for closing worship.
The Day is an opportunity for fourteen-to-eighteen-year-olds to participate in considering Yearly Meeting business alongside Meeting for Sufferings. The age range was extended to twenty-one for this year’s event as the Day’s theme was focused on Young Friends’ engagement with their Meeting, including the challenges and opportunities they encounter.
