Story

The Billy Chip is a token that can be purchased for a £2 donation via a retail outlet which supplies take away beverages like Tea & Coffee. The purchaser receives The Billy Chip which can be given to any homeless person instead of money. The homeless person can redeem The Billy Chip in any participating outlet displaying The Billy Chip sign for a hot or cold take away drink. Each time a Billy Chip is purchased some of your money goes towards supporting the Foundation to carry on working to support people in the local area and other causes close to Billys Heart. A proportion of the donation goes to the retailer to cover their costs and the costs of supporting the CIC's function. We are raising money for the BillyChip so that can they can expand the scheme out to as many different outlets as possible! To read more on the story please go to www.billychip.com

The B A Hope Foundation has been set up in memory of Billy Abernethy-Hope, a compassionate, fun and loving young man who sadly died at the age of Twenty. We hope to continue sharing Billy's love by supporting Charities who help those who don't have some of the basics we take for granted everyday Our mission is to financially support charities who share Billy's passion to improve the lives of the homeless. Through a variety of routes, we will receive money from those who want to help the homeless but don't necessarily know how. We will invite eligible charities to apply for grants which helps them support a very vulnerable part of our society.
