Here Come the Brides: Leigh and Helen's wedding

To help celebrate our marriage we are asking our friends and family to support Quaker Homeless Action rather than buying us presents. We are very conscious that, while we enjoyed a night at a lovely hotel after our wedding there will be many people out on the streets who need shelter, support and friendship, So we are asking you to support Quaker Homeless Action (QHA) a national charity run primarily by volunteers. QHA is a small and flexible organization that focuses on projects that are not funded by other organisations. Their projects include The Quaker Christmas Shelter and The Quaker Mobile Library (in Brighton and London). The majority of funding for the work of Quaker Homeless Action comes from donations from Quakers. The charity is one example of Quaker ‘hands-on’ practical help in Britain today, and is run by a volunteer Council of Trustees. QHA's vision is for a society where homeless, marginalised and excluded people are empowered and supported to break out of exclusion, poverty, and isolation to experience life in all its fullness.
