Leeds Area Quaker Meeting Trustees

Trustees are Friends appointed by Area Meeting to look after the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the Area Meeting including supporting Area Meeting and Local Meetings in:

• the care of properties and land
• proper use of resources (i.e. consistent with the LAQM Governing Document)compliance with applicable legal requirements (e.g. Health & Safety, Employment, Data Protection)
• reporting to the Charity Commission
• management and use of Trust Funds, again in accordance with their charitable objects
  

If you have a particular issue you would like to raise, or would like to know more about the work of Trustees generally, please do get in touch with the Trustees of your Local Meeting, or contact the Trustees Clerk.

Trustees administer a fund - the Leeds Friends Action on Poverty Fund – which distributes money to organisations in Leeds supporting people facing poverty at the most acute level.  This fund relies on donations from local Friends and attenders.

If you wish to donate to the Leeds Friends Action on Poverty Fund, please contact your Local Meeting Treasurer or the Trustees Clerk, address below.

Trustees also administer Trust Funds on behalf of LAQM, making grants available to local individuals and groups for a variety of purposes, consistent with the charitable objects of LAQM:

• Members of Leeds Area Quaker Meeting who are in financial need;
• The upkeep and renovation of Quaker Meeting Houses in the Leeds area;
• Voluntary and charitable organisations in the Yorkshire area, including non-Quaker groups.
