Yorkshire Quakers

In 2019 a group with the acronym  GRASP (Group to Reinvigorate and Simplify Processes) was set up and produced the GRASP report in February 2021. This received widespread support and made a series of recommendations, many of which have been implemented in Local and Area Meetings.  The desire for simplification led to a group to consider how to simplify charitable functions across the Quakers in Yorkshire region. The report from that group, titled Keeping the wheels turning asked the seven Area Meeting if they agreed in principle with the proposal to form a single charity.  During Spring 2024, all the seven Area Meetings agreed in principle.  The detailed proposals were published in autumn 2024.
