Red plaque day for QSA
QSA’s Made of Money project has received a ‘Red Plaque’ from Comic Relief
Quaker Social Action (QSA)’s Made of Money project has received a ‘Red Plaque’ from Comic Relief.
The plaque recognised QSA’s work in financial education. Made of Money encourages people to talk through their experiences with money. Activities include workshops that help parents to tackle consumerism, spending habits and budgeting. Made of Money reached 236 families last year.
Made of Money manager Kristina Leonnet said: ‘We want to thank everyone standing with Made of Money and we look forward to supporting more families facing the stress and stigma of living on a low income.’
Comic Relief launched its Red Plaque scheme this year, to show how money raised by the public is changing lives in towns and cities around the country.
Each plaque features a quote from a famous supporter. The plaque awarded to Made of Money shows a comment from Scottish actor David Tennant: ‘How can you not want a society in which everyone has a chance?
More than 2,100 charities across the UK will receive a plaque.
