People living on low incomes are being hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
Many families and communities were already struggling to make ends meet, working in jobs where hours are not guaranteed and wages low, or caring for vulnerable family members. Now they are having to deal with the lockdown and its social and economic implications.
For over 150 years, Quaker Social Action has sought to respond quickly to the needs of people on low incomes in the UK. With your help, we can be there for them today, and on the road ahead, with practical and positive support. Your donation can help QSA to:
- Run the only UK-wide funeral poverty helpline
- Run online wellbeing and mindfulness sessions for low income east Londoners, focusing on issues brought about by the pandemic
- Run online money guidance sessions for families facing the long term financial implications of the pandemic
- Provide housing and one-to-one support to young adult carers through their unique Move On Up project
