Young Friends in Brighton

Amanda Veale writes about the recent Young Friends gathering

Young Friends General Meeting (YFGM) happens three times a year, where Young Friends (aged eighteen to thirty-ish) gather together for the weekend. Sixty-nine young adults from across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom and descended upon Brighton to experience Young Friends General Meeting, which was held in the beautiful, Grade II listed, Brighton Meeting House on 23-25 February. This was my second time at YFGM and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sleeping on the floor of the Meeting house, as some of us did, and participating actively with a packed agenda makes for a tiring weekend, but I came away feeling spiritually energised and positive about our Society of Friends.
