Quaker Social Action (QSA) has said that it will not run a winter shelter in 2021, or in the future, due to the risks. ‘We acknowledge all that was achieved by QHA [Quaker Housing Action] in running Quaker Open Christmas up until 2019 – providing a warm, non-bureaucratic and dignified experience… Yet running a winter shelter is not without risks,’ it said in a statement on its website.
