Quakers in Britain's national organisation - Britain Yearly Meeting - has furloughed a significant number of staff in response to the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The lockdown measures introduced in the UK and other countries to contain the outbreak have severly reduced it's income and limited the scope for delivering many aspects of it's work.
