Sweden Yearly Meeting arose spontaneously from a small worship group which met during World War I. In 1937 the Meeting was recognised by the Swedish government as an independent religious society ouside the Swedish State Church. Since 1956 Swedish Friends have had their own Meetinghouse in Stockholm called Kväkargården. The Meetinghouse has a meeting room, an office and a library.
About seventy kilometres from Stockholm, the Meeting has Svartbäcksstugan, two houses for leisure-time activities. It is used for general meetings for business, retreats, children's summer camps and by Young Friends.
Samfundsrådet, a general meeting for business, meets twice a year to carry on business between yearly meetings.
