Special interest groups at Yearly Meeting Gathering in Bath
Disability group concerns
The Quaker Disability Equality Group (QDEG) held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Sunday 3 August. Afterwards, participants were asked what they wanted from their group.
Some two dozen people were present. Suggestions were wide-ranging, but the key message was that QDEG and its work need to be better known, in order to help more people. Several of those present mentioned that they had not heard of the group before attending Yearly Meeting Gathering.
