Luton and Leighton Area Meeting
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder suits individual Quakers and non-Quaker organisations whose objects and activities accord with the Quaker Testimonies of peace, truth, justice, simplicity, equality and sustainability, so an organisation whose work falls outside these should not apply.
- The register's latest recorded giving figure is £92,420, but no typical grant size or grant range is stated, so the published information does not show what size of request is realistic.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so the best first step is to get in touch using the contact shown there.
- Nothing published says anything about deadlines, how competitive the funding is, or whether relationships matter, so ask the Area Meeting about these when you make contact.

Priority Areas
The Area Meeting uses its funds to support Quaker bodies, individual Quakers and non-Quaker organisations whose objects and activities accord with Quaker values: peace, truth, justice, simplicity, equality and sustainability. It also funds concerns that Quakers in the Area Meeting or beyond have agreed to support. Its wider charitable work includes strengthening the life and witness of Quaker meetings, spreading Quaker thought and practice, and undertaking service to relieve suffering at home and abroad. It provides pastoral care to members and attenders, including help for people in need and for education, and maintains meeting houses as places for public worship and witness. The giving therefore combines support for Quaker life and agreed concerns with support for organisations aligned with the Quaker Testimonies.
