## **Governance and Governing Document.** 



**The Leeds Area Quaker Meeting (LAQM) Governing Document** was adopted in December 2008 and reviewed in February 2018. Previously an excepted charity, LAQM was registered with the Charity Commission on 26 February 2010. In addition to the Governing Document adopted in 2008 there is a Charity Scheme which brings together all the former trusts relating to previous Monthly Meetings into the current Area Meeting.   This can be described as  “The scheme governing the charities now known together  as  Leeds  Area  Quaker  Meeting  (1134542)  and  altering  or affecting part of Brighouse, Leeds and Settle Buildings Charity (228684) dated 31st March 2015” 

Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) is the final constitutional authority of the Religious Society of Friends in Great Britain. Its membership consists of all those  who  belong  to  the  Quaker  Area  Meetings.  LAQM  is  one  of  70 constituent Area Meetings within Britain Yearly Meeting. 

The object of LAQM is the furtherance in Leeds and beyond of the general religious  and  charitable  purposes  of  the  Religious  Society  of  Friends (Quakers)  in Britain,  or  Britain  Yearly Meeting (BYM). There  are  seven clauses set out in the charity’s governing document which describe these ways more fully: 

- strengthening the life and witness of Quaker meetings both in the area of Leeds Area Quaker Meeting and beyond; 

- spreading the message of Quakers and interpreting and developing the thought and practice of the Religious Society; 

- undertaking Quaker service for the relief of suffering at home and abroad; 

- funding the concerns that Quaker meetings in the area of Leeds Area Quaker Meeting or beyond have adopted or agreed to support; 

- providing for the pastoral care of individual members and attenders including 

assistance to those in need and for education; 



- maintaining and developing Quaker meeting houses as places for public worship and from which to carry our witness into the world; 

- administering  and  maintaining  the  organisation  of  Leeds  Area Quaker Meeting and contributing to the support of Britain Yearly Meeting. 

## **Trustees Governance** 

Trustees of LAQM are appointed in accordance with the charity’s governing document, which states: 

The Area Quaker meeting shall appoint from its membership a body of trustees not ordinarily fewer than five or more than fifteen persons. 

i. The trustees shall so far as practicable include the Area Quaker meeting treasurer and representatives of each meeting contained within the Area Quaker meeting, but not the clerk of the Area Quaker meeting, nor any employee of the Area Quaker meeting. 

ii.  One  trustee,  but  not  the  Area  Quaker  meeting  treasurer,  shall  be appointed  by  Area  Quaker  meeting  in  session  to  act  as  clerk  to  the trustees. 

The  appointments  shall  be  reviewed  at  intervals  not  exceeding  three years. A trustee can be reappointed on no more than two occasions to give an unbroken term of service as a trustee of the Area Quaker meeting not exceeding nine years. That person cannot then be reappointed as a trustee of that Area Quaker meeting until three years have elapsed after the end of the last period of service in that capacity.

## **Part 2 Trustee Report -** 

## **This is the 2022 Annual Report and examined, but un-audited, Accounts for Leeds Area Quaker Meeting (LAQM) of the Religious Society  of  Friends  (Quakers)  in  Britain.  The  report  covers  the period from 1 January to 31 December 2022.** 

## **Quaker Meetings for Leeds Area** 

One of the primary ways we fulfil our charitable purpose is through the regular holding of public meetings for worship in the manner of Friends: it is the leadings in these meetings for worship that inform and nurture our spiritual development and the action that springs from it. During 2022, meetings for worship were organised at the following locations and at the days and times indicated.

## **Area and Local Meeting Activities** 

2022 was the year in which we recovered from the pandemic.  Many Meetings continued to use Zoom, at least for some of their Meetings for Worship.   While blended Meetings allowed the housebound to join in worshipping, some felt that the technology was a distraction and preferred Meetings for Worship by Zoom to be separate.   All Meetings were delighted at renewed opportunities for outreach and were glad to welcome new visitors to their Meetings. We are glad that the national Society of Friends has decided to establish a regional ‘hub’ in premises attached to Carlton Hill Meeting. 

However, we are still confronted with the challenge of a declining and ageing membership. We have too many Meetings, each with its own demands, so that we continue to have difficulty in finding individuals to do the jobs entailed.  Some Meetings have consequently restructured themselves with varying success.  Rawdon has abolished its Elders and Overseers group, the responsibility being devolved to all members, though the co-ordination of pastoral care rests with one individual who is also the Safeguarding Officer.  Ilkley experimented with replacing its traditional committee structure with four broader groups but felt that this was only partially successful. 

The Area Meeting agreed to house a refugee family from Ukraine who took up residence in the flat at Roundhay Meeting. Financial support for this project in 2022 came partly from individual gifts and Local Meeting donations and partly from a Leeds City Council _Homes for Ukraine_ grant. We were reminded that the UK is also host to refugees from other parts of the world and so set aside 25% of the money donated by individuals Friends to give to a local charity which supports refugee housing needs. 

**Trustee Business in 2022** 



Throughout  2022,  trustees  met  six  times  to  conduct  the  work  of  the charity. Because much of this has to be devolved to individual meetings, we have a memorandum of understanding which defines where responsibilities lie. 

Our clerk attended a meeting convened by Quakers in Yorkshire to consider whether the administrative burden laid on Area Meetings as charities could be reduced by merging them or amalgamating some functions. 

Routine business includes the maintenance of property.  Meeting Houses are  reviewed  every  five  years.   In  2022,  Adel  and  Carlton  Hill  were inspected and appropriate maintenance work undertaken.  Appropriate training has been undertaken. 



## **Safeguarding** 

Safeguarding matters are dealt with through the area-wide Safeguarding Group. There were no safeguarding incidences in 2022. We have adopted a new Safeguarding Policy which had been developed by Friends House and which is accompanied by a toolkit. Appropriate training has been undertaken. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Our reserves policy was formally adopted on 16[th] May 2018 and amended on 20[th] November 2018. 

_The policy is to hold at Local Meeting level:_ 

- _a current reserve of 50% of normal expenditure plus a reserve equal to 50% of rents from investments properties (to account for void rental periods); plus_ 

- _a capital reserve of 100% of the planned capital expenditure for the next 12 months plus any anticipated capital expenditure in excess of £10,000 in the next 5 years._ 

_At Area Meeting level, the following Central reserves will be maintained, subject to annual review:_ 

- _50% of the anticipated external expenditure for the coming year of_ 

- _the Central Fund_ 

- _100% of the annual small grants budget_ 

- _Such other amount as the trustees may from time to time deem_ 

- _appropriate having regards to the currently perceived risks._ 

_The Area Meeting reserves will be the sum of the local meeting reserves and the Central reserves. The acceptable range of reserves shall lie between a £20,000 deficit and a £50,000 surplus on the calculated figure._ 

_The reserves will be maintained by an annual review by the treasurers and reported to the trustees, and by the discipline of setting aside a proportion of the rebuilding costs of our various buildings into the Building Futures Fund each year._ 

## **Building Futures Fund** 

This fund is held in a Leeds City Credit Union account from which we do not take interest so that it can be used to good effect while not required by LAQM. 



Local meetings contributed £17,600 to the fund in 2022. Payments of £14,000 were made to Adel Meeting to deal with issues raised in the quinquennial property review. The value of the fund at the year-end was £113,560 

## **Grants** 

Income from our investments feeds into our Small Grants Fund, while collections by meetings and donations from individuals finance the Friends Action  on  Poverty  Fund.  The  Grants  sub-committee  of  the  Trustees continued to meet to consider applications on a smaller scale to these two funds from organisations and individuals in need throughout the year. For non-Quaker  organisations  trustees  accept  Minutes  from  the  Grants Subcommittee giving reasons for the donations. All of these Minutes were accepted by trustees in 2022 

Trustees agreed the following grants in 2022

In addition to the Grants made at Area Meeting level, some Local Meetings hold collections for, or pass on funds on behalf of individuals to, various charities throughout the year. In 2022 these were as follows:

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

In summary, the Trustees have demonstrated above how LAQM complies with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit, through 

- Regular holding of public Meetings for Worship; 

- Provision of information about the Quaker way through Quaker Quest, discussion and  study  groups  and  literature,  participation  in  Quaker  week  and National Heritage Day; 

- Maintaining Meeting Houses which are used by many different groups and are of value to the local community; and 

- Promoting and enabling donations in cash and kind to organisations in the UK and overseas working to support causes whose values accord with the aims and objectives of the Charity. 

## **Financial Review of 2022** 

The financial position of LAQM is shown in Section 3 of this report. Most activities within the Area Meeting are undertaken on a delegated basis by Local Meetings. 

Each Local Meeting has its own treasurer. Local Meeting accounts are consolidated to produce the Leeds Area Quaker Meeting financial statements. The 2022 accounts consolidation activity has been undertaken again by West Yorkshire Community 

Accounting Service (WYCAS), Stringer House, 34 Lupton Street, Leeds, LS10 2QW. 



During 2022, Trustees encouraged Local Meetings to seek to achieve fundraising targets to raise money in support of the centrally-managed work of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Britain; the work of the Northern Friends Peace Board; Quaker collective activity in Leeds; and in support of Quakers in Yorkshire which emphasizes opportunities for Children and Young People and wider outreach. 

In relation to support of the centrally-managed work the sum of £250 per member was advised and attained to provide our yearly quota for BYM. Overall this represents an excellent achievement to enable the central charitable work in the UK and overseas to be conducted on behalf of all Quakers in Britain. 

The net movement of funds for the year was (£64,354) comprising (£32,480) on restricted funds and (£31,874) on unrestricted funds. (£54,577) represents losses on investments. According to our reserves policy we should hold around £307,925 at the year end. Our unrestricted free reserves were £313,990 on 31.12.2022, which falls within the range of £287,925 to £357,925 specified in the policy.
