Down to Earth shortlisted for Third Sector Award

Down to Earth shortlisted for Third Sector Award

by Tara Craig 7th August 2015

Quaker Social Action (QSA)’s ‘Down to Earth’ campaign has been shortlisted for a prestigious Third Sector Award.

The funeral poverty project is competing for the Breakthrough of the Year award. It is up against significantly larger charities, including Cancer Research UK and the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative.

Down to Earth is the first, and to date only, project in the UK to give immediate practical support to people on low incomes planning funerals, according to QSA.

‘We are thrilled to be nominated for an award that recognises all of the hard work that goes into Down to Earth. Our team will continue to stand with people struggling with basic funeral costs,’ said QSA director Judith Moran.

The winners will be announced on 24 September.
