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.

Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £41,235 for the year, largely driven by the final stages of the Lewes Meeting House development project. Despite this deficit, unrestricted reserves remain within the trustees' stated policy ranges, and the trustees are confident the charity will continue as a going concern through 2026.
