Quakers in London is looking for a freelance admin assistant: https://quakersinlondon.org/area-meeting-vacancies
London Quakers' mission is to keep Quakers across London connected and to share our voice with the wider world. We share events with London Friends, foster communication, and aim to strengthen our London community.
London is home to around 40 Quaker meetings. Most meet on Sundays, with some gatherings held at other times too.
Each one is open and warmly welcomes visitors. Come as you are, whenever you feel called to join us.
Dear Friends
An invitation to tell Quaker Asylum and Refugee Network about activites alongside Refugees and Migrants has gone out through all the Local Development Workers. The response from the local meetings of London has been - "far from comprehensive" and I notice some absences for which I know that the LM is really active. Could you - as a meeting or as an individual - respond please.
FYI QARN is working on a methodical response to the changes announced by this government to the UK's treatment of refugees. Have a look at the QARN webpage.
About the questionnaire
Quaker Asylum and Refugee Network (QARN) has launched a survey of local Quaker Meetings to find out what Friends are doing alongside refugees and people seeking sanctuary in the UK. The survey was sent to local Meeting Clerks at the end of November. QARN hopes to learn more about activities by individual Friends and our Local Quaker Meetings, so they can put people in touch with each other and strengthen our collective witness. They will also be sharing a report drawing on the responses. They're keen to hear about any type of activity - from one-time learning sessions, to running larger projects.
QARN is asking if each local Meeting could complete this short questionnaire - and the deadline is 25 January: https://tinyurl.com/QARNquestionnaire.
If you have any questions, please contact Ginny Baumann of the QARN steering group: ginnybaumann15@gmail.com.
