Hi! Call out for feedback!
We are consulting with those who find accessing silent Quaker Meetings for Worship more difficult due to their neurodiversity, whatever your age. We would appreciate hearing from you about how Meeting could be made more accommodating of your needs.

Eg: headphones (with quiet music on), silent fidget/fiddle toys, different seating options (eg beanbags, cushions), doodling/drawing, permission to come into Meeting half way through (so a shorter Meeting length), better understanding by current Friends of differing needs, or something else?

We welcome your comments, and thank you for your consideration.

The police raid on Westminster Quaker meeting house last Thursday was a massively disproportionate response to the legitimate concerns of UK citizens.

Quakers do have something very special to offer the dying and the bereaved, namely that we are at home in silence. Not only are we thoroughly used to it and unembarrassed by it, but we know something about sharing it, encountering others in its depths and, above all, letting ourselves be used in it…

People so often talk of someone ‘getting over’ a death. How could you ever fully get over a deep loss? Life has been changed profoundly and irrevocably. You don’t get over sorrow; you work your way right to the centre of it.

Wolverhampton Quakers 1704 - today

Quakers have been meeting in Wolverhampton since the late 17th century, but following a general period of decline the Meeting closed in 1806. It was not revived until 1896 when Friends met in rooms situated at the top of Darlington Street where it meets Victoria Street. They continued to meet there until the Meeting House in Horseman Street was opened in 1903. Since then it has grown to be one of the largest meetings in Staffordshire. The current Meeting House was opened in 1969 and is the third in Wolverhampton's history. It has three main rooms plus a kitchen, showering and toilet facilities. The main Meeting Room can be expanded on request for bigger meetings by opening a retractable screen into the adjoining lobby. By use of a similar screen the classroom can be sub-divide into two rooms when required. There is also a library. Along with Wolverhampton Friends there are various user groups making use of the facilities throughout the year. The Meeting House is a fully accessible and user-friendly building on one level with internet access.
