Jennifer Barraclough and Peter Coltman explain how the Hospitality Company works with Britain Yearly Meeting

by Jennifer Barraclough and Peter Coltman 30th January 2015

What a challenge – and what an opportunity! The Large Meeting House within Friends House, London, has been renovated for the first time in a generation, and is now in use again for worship and as a meeting space for a wide variety of activities.

The decision to renovate was the responsibility of Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) trustees. They considered the matter in the light of faithful stewardship and in a process of spiritual discernment. Once the decision had been taken, the organisation of the project was undertaken by the Hospitality Company.
