Our printable guide for newcomers and enquirers
Feel free to use our printable introductory pack for enquirers, which explains what happens in a Meeting for Worship and where they can find out more about Quakerism. This printable version is designed to be printed on double-sided A4 or A5 paper, and then folded. It features QR codes which makes it easier for the enquirer to find out further information.
Printable poster for Open Days
If you're holding an Open Day at your Meeting House you may be interested in using our Open Day poster. There is space to fill in the address of your Meeting House, timings and any activities available at your Open Day.
You can see an example of a filled in poster here.
Please email us at meetings@discoveringquakers.org.uk if you are interested in being sent printed posters.
'Why are young adults feeling drawn to Quakers?' - Brochure
We've also created a resource specifically aimed at young adults, which looks at some of the reasons Quaker Meetings are appealing to young people today. We hope it will be a helpful leaflet to have to hand at upcoming outreach events like LGBTQIA+ Pride and Freshers Fairs.
Please email us at info@discoveringquakers.org.uk to request a printable copy as well as tips for getting it printed.

Want to know more about the DQ team and our work? This introductory document explains how we help Local Meetings with our enquirers' service, our outreach activities, and how Quakers can support our work.
Weekly online sessions for newcomers
On Tuesday evenings we host Quaker Lives on Zoom, where a guest speaker talks about how their Quakerism has influenced their life. Each session includes a Q&A session and short Meeting for Worship to give newcomers a taste of what Quaker silence is like. Here is a link to further information about these events.
Guidance on what to write to new enquirers
We’ve written a template answer which you can copy and edit to provide details about your own Local Meeting. We recommend that you keep a copy to hand for any time an enquirer gets in touch. You can access the template by clicking this link.
