THE BISCUIT FUND

Although we hand out cash, the Biscuit Fund is primarily an exercise in hope. Most of our 50+ agents have experience of poverty themselves and know how demoralising and frankly depressing poverty can be, and how a small helping hand can restore faith in humanity. We offer small cash donations or occasionally online food orders (if the recipient's bank account is overdrawn), that give needy folk just a little helping hand when they need it most, without making them feel humiliated or making them wait in line. Sometimes all that is needed is £20 to top up the electricity meter, or sometimes a larger bill has to be handled to avoid the client being visited by bailiffs. Frequently we find ourselves paying for food as recipients are often found to be missing meals to feed their children, and haven't had a square meal themselves in days... We are a group of over 50 volunteers who monitor our local communities, online forums and pages for people in dire need of financial help. Our charity..
