HAMMERSMITH QUAKERS are a faith community who work for peace, equality and a sustainable future. Our Meetings for Worship are an opportunity for silent spiritual contemplation and exploration.
Quakers have been active in Hammersmith for over 350 years - this new building (2020) means Quakers continue to offer spiritual refuge to new and old friends.
MEETING for WORSHIP Sunday, 11am - 12noon
Come and join us for an hour of quiet worship. Arrive for an 11am start; there is the opportunity to meet us ask questions afterwards, with coffee.
Our Meeting House embodies the Quaker values of simplicity and calm. The design makes for a beautiful and contemplative space.

September and October Highlights
In our weekly worship we try to create an environment and events where people can come together to understand what Quakers stand for and to build a spiritual and physical community.
Alongside worshiip and regular events there are two events in September and October that are particularly important for us.
-
September: A Vigil for Peace and preparing for it The Quaker Peace Testimony and Vigil

VOLUNTEERING
Hammersmith Meeting is what is known as a Sanctuary Meeting. This is where we have made a formal commitment to building a culture of welcome.
Sanctuary Meetings provide a safe and welcoming space for newcomers, support local initiatives, and work to change laws on destitution, detention, and deportation. We work very closely with the local council to do this.
We have been running monthly and weekly events since November 2022.
- UKRAINIAN OPEN HOUSE
This is a monthly event where Ukrainian refugees are invited to come for friendship, advice and a place to relax and share stories. Given the state of the war in Ukraine we are still seeing new arrivals.
We have developed this event with LBHF. It has been running since the invasion of Ukraine. - ENGLISH CONVERSATION CLUB
In addition we run a weekly ENGLISH CONVERSATION CLUB at an Anglican Church in Holland Road. This happens every week on a Saturday.
The club is for people who lack confidence speaking in English. At these events we have east Europeans, Ukrainians, people from Africa, Iran, Mongolia, Afghanistand, Iran, Gaza, India and Syria. They sit down with first language English Speakers and practice their English and get to grips with English idioms.
