Quaker Social Action (QSA) is raising awareness of street homelessness with a music event on a London bookshop barge. The event on 6 September comes as the number of people experiencing street homelessness appears to be rising, particularly for long-term rough sleepers. ‘It will be an awareness-raising event about street homelessness and how we can all help, with the QSA Turn a Corner mobile library van in attendance,’ Suzy Kirby, stories and impact communication officer for QSA, told the Friend.
