Quaker Social Action
Sue Smith
Oxford Meeting’s Quaker charity for April is Quaker Social Action. Quaker Social Action helps people on low incomes in east London and across the UK to seek solutions to the issues affecting their lives.
It provides practical solutions for people facing the multiple and varied impacts of poverty. It listens and respond to people by creating services wherever they are most needed.
- Providing crisis support for those unable to afford funerals.
- Supporting people to manage money and improve resilience.
- Running the UK’s first dedicated supported housing project for young carers.
- A cooking space and mobile library for people affected by homelessness.
They believe that people in poverty are the real poverty experts, and their approach reflects this, working with people in a supportive and holistic way.
