  • The interest free, voluntary repayable grant scheme addresses NEEDS not WANTS.
  • It gives the recipient ​the dignity of being a giver, to contribute to others through voluntary donations to the charity.
  • To be important to someone else, where each is involved in building each other’s human life, where resources are offered to each other.

PULLING TOGETHER Our Terms
A BANK ACCOUNT for all
​​We have the courage to act outwardly on what we see inwardly.
​

​Bringing hope, dignity and a realisation of economic wellbeing, moving away from financial stress and crisis towards stability, resilience and self-reliance.
Aims and Objectives

​We offer low income and struggling households money management education through free budgeting help , access to banking, money workshops, alternative morally responsible Christian lending through the development of an interest free grant scheme, repayable through voluntary donations. We also issue non repayable grants and other related services and resources. Designed to meet the needs of those who find themselves at no fault of their own, financially excluded, in which they have no or limited access to appropriate products and services. Making a beneficial impact on their health and financial situation, bringing hope, Love and compassion through our Christian faith.
RADICAL TRUST.
​A fundamental belief in people
​

The more trusted people feel, the more trustworthy they will be. Trust bonds people, it is the connection of identity. People who are bonded care for each other and trust each other. Trust is the gateway to persuasion and changes minds. Trust builds a healthy society where people feel safe and comfortable even in the company of strangers.
 


​With Radical Trust we bring you Interest Free GiG Grants.

The Interest Free Grant Scheme is morally responsible Christian lending repayable through voluntary donations . We create a community of inclusion to those most in need where there is no fear, where people will give their best.

Think outside the box
​

Neuroscientific research indicates that it becomes increasingly difficult to break out of our existing mindsets. Each one of us are equal value to God and to bring financial inclusion to all, we will have to think outside the box.

​There is a great deal of value in drastically altering traditional thought processes, breaking through complacency as a means to thinking differently about affordable credit policy. 
Please note
​We are not a debt advice charity


​If you are really struggling with debt, we can prepare you for the debt advice process. We will work with you to complete an ​​​income and expenditure statement which will help the debt charity look at your situation after we have personally referred you to them. Or if you prefer, you can visit their website here. 
The immensity of Gods Love is understood through the resources He provides us with and HIS desire for us to use them to care for others

We put in place mechanisms that help individuals and families to stay on top of their spending, giving them controlled spending, organised money management and financial inclusion.  Putting together a properly constructed budget with the help of a guiding hand can help lift and encourage people to tackle the problem. 

We are passionate about connecting with those that are truly trying to do their best to survive in today's society. For those living in poverty, every day is a financial struggle and when we live in a society that actually demands the poor to pay more, it’s hard for any of them to break out of that poverty trap. ​

​​We will give people the​ resources that will help them gain control over their finances rather than money having control over them.

"The knowledge of social well-being and of reform can be learned not from books, nor from the public platform, but in climbing the stairs to the poor person’s garret, sitting by their bedside, feeling the same cold that pierces them, sharing the secrets of their lonely hearts and troubled minds”        
​ Antoine Frédéric Ozanam
​And that concept of gaining knowledge is what we embrace here at GiG. We build true and trusting relationships with people, not through email and distant telephone conversations but through committed home visits. Only then shall we experience the real joy of meeting people and to truly coming to know them.

With the right resources the poor will flourish

​​​Do not withhold good from those
to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act - Proverbs 3:27

How we can achieve that
Poverty is at it's simplest
​a lack of resources
"Annual income twenty pounds,
annual expenditure nineteen pounds
nineteen shillings and six pence,
result happiness

​Annual income twenty pounds,
annual expenditure twenty pounds
ought and six,
​result misery"

Charles Dickens David Copperfield
