Whilst the work of area meetings may vary, our assets are used for:

1. strengthening the life and witness of our local meetings;
2. spreading the message of Friends and interpreting and developing the thought and practice of the Religious Society of Friends;
3. undertaking our service for the relief of suffering at home and abroad;
4. funding the concerns of Friends that our meetings have adopted or agreed to support;
5. providing for the pastoral care of individual Friends, including assistance to those in need and for education;
6. maintaining and developing our meeting houses as places in which to worship and from which to carry our witness into the world;
7. administering and maintaining the organisation of Britain Yearly Meeting.
