New ways to tackle Quaker giving

Oliver Robertson reports from Meeting for Sufferings

by Oliver Robertson 10th December 2009

Meetings struggling to send out the annual appeal for Quaker work will be able to get help from Quaker Communications Department (QCD) next year.  Meeting for Sufferings agreed to a pilot scheme in which a ‘limited number’ of Area Meetings can have Friends House staff support the mailing and administration of the annual appeal, rather than having AM treasurers deliver them. The change came as part of a wider discussion on ‘using our resources well’, one of the seven priorities in A framework for action 2009-2014.
