Paul Parker, recording clerk of Quakers in Britain, said QSA "draws on their long Quaker history and their strong anti-poverty work in communities to make a real difference to issues we all care about."

He added: "We have much to learn from each other and share a vision of a world in which Quakers' testimony of equality can become a reality."

QSA will be taking over space on the third floor of Friends House from mid to late-September.

Judith Moran, QSA's director, called Friends House "a warm, welcoming and accessible space that reflects those inclusive values that lie at the heart of QSA's work."

She said: “Co-locating with Quakers in Britain creates opportunities to grow our relationship, learn from one another and work together where our values and ambitions align," adding: "We've already begun that journey and look forward to seeing it grow."

Moran said being based in Camden "connects us with a thriving voluntary sector, opening the door to new partnerships that will strengthen our work and extend our reach."

She described the move as "the beginning of a new chapter" for QSA.
