Woodbrooke

Who we are

Woodbrooke is a learning organisation working with Quakers and others. We offer courses and events at our centre in Birmingham, as well as online and in local Quaker communities across the UK and occasionally beyond. Woodbrooke Quaker Centre Limited is a trading subsidiary of the charity through which we hire our centre as a conference venue and for B&B accommodation. The centre is a listed building, has around 70 bedrooms, 10 meeting rooms and 10 acres of mature organic gardens and grounds.

We have a staff group of around 55 people, some full-time, some part-time. Our teams cover our learning programmes, administration and finance, marketing and sales, housekeeping and maintenance, gardening and catering. The Director is supported by an unpaid board of Quaker trustees of the Charity and a board of directors of the trading subsidiary .
