Charity taking practical action against poverty. https://quakersocialaction.org.uk/

From homelessness to funeral poverty, food security to financial wellbeing. We help people on low incomes to seek solutions to the issues affecting their lives.
The Funeral Expenses Payment (FEP) eligibility criteria are narrow and don’t reflect real life.

Grief is hard enough. It’s time to #FixTheFEP.

💔 Grief is hard enough. Yet thousands are denied support from the Funeral Expenses Payment each year because of narrow eligibility rules that don’t reflect real life.

We’re calling for change. It’s time to #FixTheFEP.

We had a 🔥 time at Word on the Water bookbarge, with music from Snakestock House Band & Martin John.

The event in support of our #TurnACornerLibrary for people experiencing street #homelessness meant so much. 📚

Thank you to everyone who made the day so special!

What’s it like to use a library when you’re street homeless? 📚

Most libraries ask for proof of address to borrow a book, but our Turn a Corner library was designed to cater to London’s street #homeless community.

Our thanks to Wendy and to students at the #UniOfWestminster who made this film.
