4. Hammersmith Ukranian Refugee Open House - in partnership with the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham we run monthly drop-ins for displaced Ukrainians living in West London.

These happen every two months and are an excellent way of helping people understand the Quaker how we manage the meeting.
People can attend in person or on line (on request). This is a particularly important meeting as we are discussing our future within the Joint London Meeting structure.
We use the Quaker business method. The Quaker business method is an unique process for decision-making used by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).
It focuses on seeking unity and discernment rather than relying on votes or majority rule. The method emphasizes listening, sharing perspectives, and seeking guidance from a higher power or the "Inward Light".
The key principles
1. Seek Unity: The goal is to find a decision that everyone can agree to and accept, even if they don't fully agree with it.
2. Discernment: Decision-making is approached as a process of seeking guidance and understanding, rather than a debate or a negotiation.
3. Silence: Meetings often begin with a period of silence for contemplation and worship.
4. No Voting: Quakers do not use formal votes, as they believe it can create divisions and undermine the process of seeking unity.

11 January 2026London Meetings and Events
Venue: Friends House
Morning worship joined by meetings on zoom.
Blended business meeting in afternoon.
Parallel meeting for children and young people.
We have planned for six (J)LAM in 2026. All will have parallel meetings for children and young people. All will be blended though on a couple of occasions we will be experimenting with tech and all may not be perfect.
Three of the meetings will be held on Sundays in The Light at Friends House so we know that tech will be excellent, and there will be space for 1,000 Friends if everyone wants to come. These meetings will have worship in the morning joined by LMs across London on zoom.
Our (J)LAMfWfB will take place in the afternoon blended.
The other three (J)LAM will take place in three different London meeting houses (Wandsworth, Westminster and Wanstead), and online. They will be all-day events with learning in the morning and business in the afternoon. These meeting houses can each hold well over 100, but there will be a limit on numbers in person. We could accommodate far more if we held all (J)LAM in The Light at Friends House or at St. John’s Waterloo, but we thought we should experiment with moving around in this first year.
