Bristol Charity Advent Calendar 2024, day 22: BillyChip

By Bristol24/7  Friday Dec 20, 2024

BillyChip is a safe and secure way to donate directly to homeless people, encouraging engagement and human kindness.

The non-profit social enterprise based in Clutton raises money for outreach support, mental health support, long-term accommodation and pathways out of homelessness.

BillyChip was launched in memory of former Bristol ambulance driver, Billy Abernethy-Hope, who came up with the idea of a safe and secure currency to help support those experiencing homelessness.

Anyone can purchase a BillyChip from cafes, restaurants and shops.

You can then give a BillyChip to someone experiencing homelessness so it can then be redeemed in any participating outlet for takeaway food and drink, clothing, provisions for pets, and much more.
