Families and Young People

We offer a Children’s Meeting every Sunday.

Quakers value children’s spirituality as equal to that of adults and encourage them to explore it in their own ways. Being part of a Quaker community can offer families of all kinds the loving support they need to thrive. 

Currently, our children’s group is around 8 -15 in number, though that varies from week to week. We have a Play worker employed to run sessions with the pre-school age children, and there is always an activity (stories, drama, craft etc) for the school-age children. All activities are organised according to clear Safeguarding guidelines, with adults who supervise required to have DBS certification.


At around 11.25, the children join the main Meeting for Worship, so they learn our way of silent worship. They are then welcome join the social time for refreshments, under the supervision of their own family.
 

Other activities are also organised occasionally, such as picnics, open-air swimming at Hathersage, weekends at Barmoor and cooperative games sessions.
