A new report by @SunLifeUK finds the av. cost of the attended funeral they track is at a record high. Funeral costs can cause people to cut back on food and struggle with rent. It’s why we set up Down to Earth, the only UK-wide support service for people facing funeral poverty.- ❄️Cold Weather Items Appeal❄️ Your items & donations will provide warmth and connection to our visitors experiencing street #homelessness. ➡️bit.ly/4gHquBE Thank you.
- ✨️ Wishing you a wonderful festive season from Quaker Social Action and @pimlico_million. Thank you to everyone who attended our festive celebration! We look forward to seeing you in 2025. @exploretruetz @citywestminster @LocalTrust @ChurchillGdnsRA

Thank you @prospect_uk for sharing our Down to Earth report on this issue & raising awareness. #funeralpovertyThanks @fayecurran99 for this @prospect_uk article.

The QSA’s report spells out a 10-step plan'. prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/a-good-d…
