PAY IT FORWARD

‘Pay it forward’ facility at our Communitea Café enables customers buying meals or drinks to pay an extra £2. This money is redirected and used to pay for anyone using a Halliday Pound for food.

THE HALLIDAY POUND CURRENCY

‘Halliday Pounds’ are not a voucher system – it is as much about dignity, welcome and signposting support as about free meals. ‘Halliday Pounds’ are a currency and like any currency, confidence in the system upholds their value and Our culture, ethos and practice of building strong trusting relationships free from stigma and judgement are paramount.

AIMS:

  • To reduce begging for money.
  • To enable general public to support people begging on street without giving money.
  • To facilitate ‘Halliday Pounds’ as currency for meal at Communitea.
  • To signpost next steps/further support from volunteers/local community partners to ‘Halliday Pound’ users at Communitea.

METHODS:

  • Each Halliday Pound is made of robust bamboo and is size of £2 coin.
  • ‘Halliday Pounds’ coming soon for purchase via website/THF Unit for issue to people begging on street /vulnerable people to exchange for free meal and friendly welcome at Communitea.
  • Issue, return, use, impact and evolution of ‘Halliday Pounds’ to be tracked and recorded.
  • ‘Halliday Pound’ currency should pay for itself ie production/postage/tracking costs = £2 each. Meals provided by Communitea are free at point of delivery due to surplus food. ‘Pay it Forward’ system will also complement the currency.
  • Volunteers trained in purpose, use and tracking of ‘Halliday Pounds’.
  • Publicity campaign and launch to take place during March 2022.
