News & Events

A bankrupt person knows that they are a drain on society’s purse strings, benefits from the government are in a lot of cases all they have to live on and get themselves back on their feet. They don’t want to be a drain, they want to contribute and the little self respect they have left is what can keep them going. The faster a bankrupt gets back on their feet the faster they can contribute to the taxes and purse strings of the people, community and government. It’s very difficult to get out of the benefit trap once in it and the extra rent they have to pay can seriously make a difference to whether bills get paid or not and will hinder them getting back on their feet.

This charity was set up because of first hand experience of how much a stress a bankrupt goes through and the difficulties they face. A bankrupt person is generally at the end of their tether, they are completely stressed out at the situation they find themselves in and the last thing they need is a finger pointed at them as if to say it’s completely and utterly their fault and they deserve what they get. Sometimes we might be better to think “There but by the grace of God go I”...... Bankruptcy can happen to anyone. We want to not only change peoples perceptions of bankrupts in general, we also want to make sure there is more help and practical advice available.

Maybe you, or someone you know, have been a bankrupt and know first hand how the experience has a negative effect. We need fundraisers, organisers and volunteers to help with the following;

• We need landlords that will accept a fair rent for thier property and will give a bankrupt person or family a long term tenancy agreement
• We need posters putting up in houses, shop windows and lamp posts.
• We need volunteers to write to companies by normal mail or email asking for a donation of some kind.

Primarily our aim is to offer a supportive environment both on and offline where bankrupts can network and gain support from others with similar experiences
