ChangeChip provides tokens that replace cash donations, ensuring your generosity directly supports essential services—not addiction.

Pilot Programme: London

The Challenge We're Addressing

While compassion drives us to help those experiencing homelessness, traditional cash donations can inadvertently fuel addiction rather than recovery.

Unintended Consequences

Studies show that a significant portion of cash given to rough sleepers is spent on drugs and alcohol, perpetuating the cycle of addiction.

Diminished Impact

Well-intentioned donations fail to address root causes, leaving vulnerable individuals without access to proper support services.

Donor Uncertainty

Many people want to help but feel uncertain about whether their contribution will truly make a positive difference.

How ChangeChip Works

A simple, dignified system that ensures every contribution creates real, positive change.

1

Purchase Tokens

Buy ChangeChip tokens online or at participating locations. Each token represents a meal, shelter night, or essential service.

2

Give with Confidence

Hand tokens to individuals in need. They're lightweight, portable, and maintain the personal connection of giving.

3

Redeem for Services

Recipients exchange tokens at partner organizations for food, accommodation, healthcare, and addiction support.

4

Track Impact

Partner organizations report token usage, providing transparency and measurable outcomes for donors and funders.

Zero Chance of Misuse

ChangeChip tokens cannot be exchanged for cash, drugs, or alcohol. Our partner network exclusively offers legitimate support services—meals, shelter, counseling, job training, and healthcare. This ensures 100% of your generosity reaches its intended purpose: helping people rebuild their lives.

Pilot Programme Progress

We're currently testing ChangeChip across five London boroughs, working with established charities, shelters, and food banks. Early results show increased engagement with support services and reduced street begging in participating areas.

Our goal is to expand citywide by 2025 and develop a scalable model for other UK cities. Your support helps us refine the system and prove its effectiveness.
