New Questions About Quakers outreach campaign

Join our new outreach campaign answering 10 of the common questions enquirers and newcomers ask about Quakers. Learn more and request posters and leaflets.

Discovering Quakers is a grassroots Quaker outreach initiative that provides a first point of contact for people curious about Quakers. We promote Quakers nationally through social media and our website, produce an enquirers' email newsletter, run weekly online events for enquirers, and publish Quaker books.

To help Meetings, we run monthly outreach forums, introduce enquirers to their Local Meeting, produce printed leaflets and posters, and advertise local and national events.

We are a small group of Quakers who are passionate about Quaker outreach. We were initially funded by Britain Yearly Meeting and are now funded through donations from Meetings, individuals and grants.

What are people saying about Discovering Quakers?

"It gives me hope and comfort that there are like minded people in this world... Until recently I knew nothing about Quakers." 


"Really informative, digestible & interesting. Thank you."


"This was my first meeting in 25 years. I had forgotten what a wonderful experience it is."

"The questions helped me to reflect on values I already have, and recognise their alignment with the Quaker values."


"I am inspired to attend more and will look up other online meetings."


"I always find something new each time I attend — thank you all."
 

"I’m very interested in attending... it feels like something I’ve been seeking but didn’t have a name for."


"I was really moved and surprised at how I felt a part of something despite being on my own in the room."


"It was the most valuable and peaceful part of my day."
