How would we manage money in the London Area Meeting

Venue:

London Quakers have lots of money: how should we manage it when we have a single Area Meeting for London?

Open meeting for all interested on Monday 2 June at 7pm on Zoom.


The London Area Meeting Development Group needs to hear your views on how we will look after our money in the new London Area Meeting. Whether you are a treasurer or not, how we look after and spend our money is vital for almost everything we do. Come and hear our proposals and help us make them simple and easy to use so they meet the needs of Quakers in London today with simplicity, equality and truth.

This meeting is for you to learn about the proposals and give your feedback so we end up with the best answer we can come up with. It is not to decide whether we go ahead with the proposals - only a proper business meeting can do that.


Today, across our 7 Area Meetings and the London Quaker Property Trust (LQPT), we have inherited a complex setup with lots of separate funds and trusts containing several million pounds, with many bank accounts and many people needed to manage them. We cannot find enough suitable people to do this any more, so just to continue we must streamline and simplify things. North East Thames AM now looks after its money at Area Meeting level and we propose doing something very similar, removing the need for Local Meeting (and probably other) treasurers.


More details of the proposals have been sent out in a mailing, and links to them are given below. We will explain them briefly at this meeting and take questions. It would be helpful if you read them prior to the meeting.   

We want to know what you think.
Could this work for your Meeting - will it allow you to do what you need to do?
What changes might be needed?
Are there funds in your meeting that need special consideration?
Any other thoughts, or people we need to talk to?

Here are links to the papers.

Joint Meeting of the London AMs

Venue: Friends House Benjamin Lay Suite

After six years of deliberations the Pan London project is moving forwards, following our discernment on 15th February.  Detailed proposals are now in place that will have a material effect on how Quakerism in London will look and which we all now have the opportunity to shape over the next Joint London Area Meetings.

This meeting on 7 June is our opportunity to hear and engage with proposals for managing the money currently held at Local and Area Meeting level. There was an online discussion on 2 June.

There are also proposals for the way our 30+ individual Local Meetings will relate to our new AM, and we will appoint a Nominating Group to seek Friends for key appointments in the new single Area Meeting.  

As a meeting, we will be able to make decisions as to whether these proposals are the right way to go for Quakers across London, or whether they require amendment. We invite Friends to engage creatively with the proposals. 

Please read the proposals ahead of the meeting (you can all of theme here) and join in the discernment about our collective future - in person in the Benjamin Lay Suite at Friends House or online using the online button on the London Quakers calendar (this will go live on the day).

Book Launch - QCEA Migration handbook Moving with Dignity

Venue: Friends House Library

Moving with Dignity is a milestone publication by the
Quaker Council for European Affairs (QCEA). The handbook
proposes a peaceful approach to migration that prioritises
the happiness and well-being of all people. It is grounded in
a positive peace approach to migration.
Discover the handbook in our new
online tool. Visit qcea.org for more
information.
A positive peace approach to migration:
• Seeks to address the root causes of forced migration and
eliminate the violence experienced by migrants.
• Recognises that people are often forced to migrate due to
direct, structural, and cultural violence.
• Addresses these three levels of violence to make
migration a safer and genuinely voluntary choice.

 

Presentation by the author, Dr Majbritt Lyck-Bowen
