Achievements and perfornianco
GENERAL
2024 was a successful year for the activitiés under the auspices of Quakers in Yorkshire. This was particularfy
thè case with the youth events of Junior holidays, Yorkshire Friends Holiday School and the révitalised Link
Group. These provide Quaker social activities for a wide young age range and do so in a safe environmènt with
the strong support of parents and Friends. The youth events would not be possible without the teams of
volunteérs who devote time and effort to ensure that inclusive programmes are provided.
QUARTERLY MEEfiNGS
The quarterly meetings of Quakers in Yorkshire are the forum for its Iwo main roles of administration and
Inspiration. All members and attenders from constituent area and local meetings are eligible lo attend. At the
meetings all necessary appointrnents are made and information disseminated about activitie6 in support of the
objectives. The meetings provide inspiration through opportunities for learning, fellowship and spiritual
enrichment. The Arrangements Committee, convened by the Clerks of Quakers in Yorkshire. decides on venues,
topics and speakers. This representative committee creates and arranges programmes which aims to deepen
knowledge and understanding of Quakerism.
The quarterly meeting8 In 2024 were held as blended meetings SO that people could attend either in-person, or
online. Mostly this worked well and enabled a more diverse attendance. The January meeting was held al Carlton
Hill meeting house in Leeds which is a good venue with excellent opportunities for interaction. The April meeting
was at Huddersfield meeting house and the July meeting al New Earswick meeting house and community centre.
The last meeting of the year in Odober was hosted by The Mount School in York.
The January 2024 meeting heard reports froffl Junior Holidays, Holiday School, Easter Settlement, the Under 19s
Coordinating Group, Outreach Project Committ88, Yorkshire Youth Development Worker and the Racial Justice
Group. There was a session hearing about the national Young Friends General Meeting and an exploration of
new ways for Quaker meetings to engage with all-age communities.
The April 2024 meeting had the theme of peace with talks on initiative l¢xally by Huddersfield meeting, the
Ramallah Friends School on the Wesl Bank of Israel, the work of the Ecumenical Accompanimènt Programme in
Palestine and Isra81, and the activilies of the Northem Friends Peace Board. The afternoon session heard about
the Sv￿rds inlo Ploughshares project and engaged with the peace education programmes of Quaker Peace and
Social Witness.
The July 2024 meeting heard the trustees rèport on the previous year as well as reports from the trustees of
Glenthorne Quaker Centre and from Breckenbrough school which is a Quaker run school providing specialist
teaching for boys with autism who have been unable to settle in mainstream schools. The meeting also
celebrated the 400th anniversary of the birth of George Fox in July 1624 with a talk and a series of displays and
presentations open to the public.
The October 2024 meèting heard reports from Bootham and The Mount schools. including presentalions by

JUNIOR HOLIDAYS
Two very successful Junior Holidays wé8kends weré held in 2024. Both were fully booked so the organisers are
planning a third weekend in 2025. The first Junior Holiday in June was held at Curley Hill, Ilkley, where 33 young
people age 6 to 13 attended and made good use of the natural site. A weekend in Septemb8r at Barmoor was
attended by 20 young people. This is an ever popular venue but with limited capacity. Both weekends rely on
teams of dedicated volunteers.
HOLIDAY SCHOOL
The 2024 Yorkshire Friends Holiday School was held over a week in August at Bootham school. This year 63
young peoples aged be￿e8n 13 and 18 attended, supported by volunteers. some of whom had attended in past
years. This model works well and has enabled an inclusive friendly atmosphere to be maintained. The theme for
the successful week was "A waste of a world" which explored the issues around the climate emergéncy.
LINK GROUP
The Link Group has already become an integral part of the youth actlvilies in Yorkshire. It had been dormant for
many years and then revived by the Youth Development Worker. Thus showing in a short time that there is
demand from young people in school years 7 to 13 to meet over a weekend in a distinctly Quaker space. The
Group met online and over weekends at Scarborough. York and Barmoor. All were popular and successful. Until
the Barm¢)or event, the weekends were under the auspic88 of Britain Yearly Meellng, but responsiblllty has now
transferred to Quak8r8 in Yorkshire.
EASTER SEThLEMENT
Easter Settlement has been held annually for many years. It is a gathering which enables a community to
strengthen spiritual and witness roots. The theme of the 2024 evenl was 'Hope, Seeing Light in the Darkness,
and was again held at Cober Hill, near Scarborough. It Was a successful evènt attended by 40 adults and 1 child.
The decision had b88n mad8 not to make it a family event as recent years has shown that the residential costs
are too high for many families. A review by the planning group has led to the decision not to hold a formal event
in 2025. Instead there will be a new all-age Yorkshire Quaker Camp.
OUTREACH
The Outreach Projects Committee provides grants to support outreach projects initiated by local meetings. In
2024, four grants were made, including a publication to encourage allendance at a meeting, an elderly social
club, a shared worlds creative communily event and a Qu8ker Quest outreach event.
BOOK OF MEMBERS AND AThENDERS
Every three years Quakers in Yorkshire compile6 and publishes the Book of Members and Attenders. This lists
the contact details of all those attached to meetings in Yorkshire and who have consented to have their names
published. It is only available as a printed book to reduce the opportunities for misusè of the data. Trustees are
graleful for Ihe considerable effort involved in compiling the book. Sales of the book indicate that il continues to
be a valuable part of the services provided by Quakers in Yorkshire.
RACIAL JUSTICE GROUP
The Racial Justice Group continues to provide advice and guidance on racial justice Issues. It was fomied In the
wake of developments both in this and other countries which recognised that there was often overt prejudice,
even in societies which consider themselves to be anli-raGlSt. The quarterly meetings now have standing agenda
Iteffl of reports from the Racial Justice Group.
SAFEGUARDING
Quakers in Yorkshire lakes safeguarding of chIld￿n and vulnerable adults very seriously. There is a
Safeguarding Coordinator and Deputy who are trained to deal with any issues. The Safeguarding Coordinator
was also a trustee in 2024. The Under 19's Committ88 also advises on safeguarding issues at events and aims
to highlight best practi￿. Advice is available from Quakers in Britain and from 31.'8, a natiorbal safeguarding
advice charity. A ttimprehensive safeguarding policy was agreed in 2021 and is reviewed annually.

APPOINTMENTS
Quakers in Yorkshir8 is responsible for making a range of appointments. This is done by the quarterly meetings
on the recommendation of thè Quakers in Yorkshire Nominations Committee. This hard-working, representative,
committee depends on dedicated volunteers seeking the right name for each role. It finds Friends willing to serve
on the many internal roles needed to keep the organisation running. Also found are governors for Boolham, The
Mount and Breckenbrough schools and trustees for Glenlhorne Quaker Cenlre.
YORKSHIRE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT WORKER
Britain Yearly Meeting - the national Quaker charity - employs a youth development worker based in Yorkshire.
This is fund8d by thé seven are8 meetings which make up Quakers in Yorkshire. The project has been running
very suc￿sSfUllY for a number of years and area meetings have now agreed to extend il for another three years
until mid-2028.
Quakers in Yorkshlre has a strong interest in encouraging and supporting the work as the role holder is able to
make a major contribution towards the success and growth of the youth activi118s. Active support for Junior
Holidays, Holiday School and the Link Group are particularity valuable. The role-holder has been working with
local and area meetings to promote and encourage more young people to lake part in Quaker sponsored
activities. Many young people value Quakerism but not necessarily in the way5 favoured by older people.
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT WORKER
In addition to the Youth Development Worker, Britain Yearly Meellng also employs a Local Development Worker
In Yorkshire to work with Meetings and Friends to enhance worship, witness and community action. This post 1$
now in its fourth year and has been successful in developing projects which aim to re-invigorate Quakerism in
Yorkshire. Both thè Local and Youth Development Workers have led an initiative to hold a Yorkshire Quaker
Camp in 2025 which is intended to be a Iow-c05t event to foster an all-age community.
SIMPLIFYING GOVERNANCE
Quakers in Yorkshire has been sponsoring an on-going consideration of how to simplify our relatively complex
organisalion. It started in 2019 with the Group to Reinvigorate and Simplify Processes 8nd Practices (GRASP).
This published a report in 2021 with Tecommendations for ways to simplify procedures with the aim of
re-invigoraling Yorkshire Quakerism. Since then local and area meetings have beèn considering how to simplify
their govemance. There is strong support for finding ways of reducing the complex Structure inhèrited from Ihe
past. In 2023 consultations supported the principle of having a single charity replacing the seven area m8eling
charities. The area meetings would be relained for Quaker worship and witness. In 2024 firm proposals were
déveloped and the area meetings have committed lo the merged charity. Qu8kers in Yorkshire Trustees also
agreed that it would merge into a Yorkshire wide charity.

Trust8es' Report (continued)
Financial revlew
The 2024 financial year was relatively stable with all the component parts of the accounts performing according
to budget. About three quarters of the turnover was due to the residential youth and other activities (Easter
Settlement, Junior Holidays, Link Group and Holiday School). The organisers of the residential events aim to
cover costs whilst enabling a wide range of participants to attend. This included offering bursaries to those unable
to afford the feés. Trustees are very appre¢i81ive that successfvl events were held in 2024, both in terms of
numbers attending and financially.
Apart from the activities, the other incomè came from donations, sale of Books of Members and Attendèrs and
from investments. The donation income was mainly made up of the contributions, or subscriptions. from the
seven area meetings who are the core of Quakers in Yorkshire. These contributions are vital in enabling Quakers
In Yorkshire to support the administration and offer outreach grants to local meetings.
The investment income comes from the inherited funds given in the past. These are mostly restricted 8nd the
Income Can only be used for the defined purposes. The income in 2024 was similar lo the previous year bul was
still is only 20/0 of the capital value of Ihe funds.
The Increase in expenditure in the current year is mainly due to the donation of £42,427 to the Glenthorne
Quaker Centre as outlined below.
Policy on rns8rves
At the year end total reserves carried forward were £878,724, made up of £26,666 unrestricted funds. £261.691
restricled funds and £590,367 endowment fund8.
The reserves are held to allow the charity lo carry out its charitable objectives in the short, medium and longer
term. The trustees ensu￿ that the level of reserves held complies with Ihe re8erves policy, which is reviewed
annually. The reserves policy aims to have a minimum level of unrestricted funds of one quarter of the anticipated
expenditure for the forthcoming year, and a maxiumum desired level of one half of the anticipated expenditure.
Reserves al 31 De￿eMtser 2024 were within that range.
Three of the funds held by Quakers in Yorkshire are permanent endowments, which means that the capital of the
funds cannot be spent. The Rawdon Friends School Trust goes to assist children of Quaker parents at Ackworth,
Bootham and Th8 Mount schools. In 2024, £7,057 was distributed to the schools. Th8 Building Fund gives grants
for the maintenance of meeting houses and burial grounds in Brighouse West Yorkshire, Craven & Keighley and
Leeds Area Meetings. It gave grants of£2,580 in 2024. The General Meeting Fund is relatively small and
supports the core activities of Quakers in Yorkshire. The Forest's (Meets'ng Houses) Fund supports grants for
meeting houses anywhere In the region. There were no requests for grants In 2024.
The last of Ihe capital fvnds, the Lynton Taylor Bequest supported the charitable activities at the Glenthorne
Quaker Centre. In 2024 Trustees recommended the transfer of the funds in the Bequest to Glenthorne Quaker
Centre so that they could create a fund to support young people and others to attend Courses and stay at the
Centre. This recommendation was endorsed by Quakers in Yorkshire in July 2024.
Investmentpollcy and objectlves
The investments are managed by Rathbone Greenbank Investment Managers Ltd who carry out all the
day-to-day operations. They use investment crit8ria agreed with Trustees Our ethical investment policy strictly
defines the companies in which investments are held. In 2024, the general stock market performed well bul this
was largely due lo fossil-fuel stocks and armament related stocks - all of which are excluded from the Quakers in
Yorkshire ethical porlfolio. The consequence was a smaller increase in the capital value than the stock-market
indi￿S might indicate.
