SUSSEX EAST AREA QUAKER MEETING

We advance the tenets of faith contained in Quaker Faith and Practice, which is the book of Christian discipline of the Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends in Britain. Meetings for Worship are regularly held in Bexhill, Eastbourne, Hastings, Herstmonceux, Lewes, Polegate, Rye, Seaford and Uckfield.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
