Opportunities to give financial assistanceSome of our financial support is collective, through the Local Meeting. Much of it is individual. We should feel encouraged to inform ourselves about the need of other organisations for our help and make appropriate contributions according to our means and discernment.
It is laid upon us to help our own area and local meetings to carry out the concerns and witness of Quakers through our regular financial support in accordance with our means.
Quaker Faith & Practice 14.05
Our work is carried out with money received from several sources: the most important, for it represents all Friends as individuals, is contributions to Britain Yearly Meeting, area meetings, local meetings and Quaker-related organisations.
