ChangeChip provides QR code cards that replace cash donations, ensuring your generosity directly supports essential services—not addiction.
ChangeChip Cards
A cash-free way to fund real support
While compassion drives us to help those experiencing homelessness, traditional cash donations can inadvertently fuel addiction rather than recovery.
Studies show that a significant portion of cash given to rough sleepers is spent on drugs and alcohol, perpetuating the cycle of addiction.
Well-intentioned donations fail to address root causes, leaving vulnerable individuals without access to proper support services.
Many people want to help but feel uncertain about whether their contribution will truly make a positive difference.
A simple, dignified system that ensures every contribution creates real, positive change.
Buy ChangeChip QR cards online or at participating locations. Each card represents a meal, shelter night, or essential service.
Hand cards to individuals in need. They're lightweight, portable, and maintain the personal connection of giving.
Recipients scan or exchange cards at partner organizations for food, accommodation, healthcare, and addiction support.
Partner organizations scan cards to report usage, providing transparency and measurable outcomes for donors and funders.
ChangeChip cards 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.
Our pilot programme in London is laying the foundation for systemic change.
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.
