6. Please give details of two Friends who have agreed to support your offer of service
Friends who provide a reference are known as Supporting Friends. They must be attached to a Quaker meeting but do not need to know a lot about central service.

If a nominating committee feels that you could be the right person for a role it will contact your Supporting Friends. It will explain the role to them and discuss your suitability for it. We will usually contact your Supporting Friends before your name is put forwards for nomination. When we approach them for a reference we will also send them a description of the role we are considering you for.

Please identify two Quakers who know you well. Pick those who know what you do now, rather than just what you did in the past. Please refer Supporting Friends to www.quaker.org.uk/givetime for further guidance. To change your Supporting Friends contact the Committee Services Team at nominations@quaker.org.uk

Please make sure that Supporting Friends are happy for their contact details to be stored and used by us for this purpose.
