Information for parents

Senior Conference is a busy and intensive seven-day event for young Quakers aged 15-18. Each year we explore the theme through sessions with visiting speakers, discussion in Base Groups, worship and other activities. There are also a variety of creative and active workshops, swimming, a day trip to Oxford, and lively evening entertainments.

Two adult coordinators (one male and one female) are responsible for the running of Senior Conference, although the Conference itself is planned by a committee of young people appointed at last years Conference. They are assisted by a team of adult volunteers all aged 22 or older.

In organising and running its events Friends Southern Summer Events follows guidelines from Britain Yearly Meeting concerning the safety and well-being of those taking part. All adult volunteers are required to have current, enhanced disclosures from the Criminal Records Bureau.
