Young Friends began their association with the meeting house in the 1970s.
They contributed to the maintenance of the building in annual work camps, a tradition which was still extant as of 2018.
The large meeting room in the meeting house became a large very simple bunkhouse with cooking, sleeping and common room space; a shower and washing facilities were subsequently built by Young Friends in the adjacent stable block and a flush WC built at the end of the schoolroom block some time in the 1980s.
Pardshaw Centre as an active concern, and administration of the facility passed to a small group of Friends in the local meeting continuing to offer the same very basic facilities to a broadly similar target area of users.
In 2021 a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, "Pardshaw Quaker Centre", was established.
