Local Quaker meetings are usually involved with Churches Together and also with local meetings with other faith groups. You can find out more by contacting a local meeting. Southampton Local Meeting is very active in collaboration with its local faith communities - find out more about Southampton Council of Faiths here.

Nationally, Quakers have a Committee for Christian and Interfaith Relations about which more information can be found here.
