Support for Charities
Throughout their history, Quakers have been deeply concerned with questions of peace, social justice and responsibility . The interests of Abingdon Quakers are reflected in the Meeting's support for charities.
Monthly Special Collection
Each month the Meeting makes a special collection for a charity in which a member has a particular interest. We are currently supporting Quaker Social Action. QSA's mission is to enable people on low incomes in East London to seek solutions to the issues affecting their lives. They do this by listening to and responding to the needs of the community, by running practical, sustainable and collaborative projects. We will share our work with others when it is clear that it has the potential to bring benefits to communities outside of our own.
