Pride and festivals
We are offering free resources for Quakers attending Pride events this year. This blog explores why being an LGBTQ+ ally matters and why we feel Pride is an important opportunity for a Quaker presence.
You can now order Pride resources, including badges, stickers and cards, that may be useful for any outreach events you are involved in this year.
Quakers in Wales will have a presence at the Eisteddfod again this year and Friends are organising outreach activities at Greenbelt Festival. If you are interested in getting involved, please email outreach@quaker.org.uk and we can put you in touch with those organising a Quaker presence at these events.
Outreach network sessions
Outreach network sessions run every month, covering a range of topics including welcoming newcomers, running and promoting events, and attracting younger people. They are a chance to connect with other Friends who are interested in outreach, to share ideas and inspiration and to learn more about effective outreach together. You can find information and a link to register on the events page. If you have any questions, email outreach@quaker.org.uk.
