Introducing BillyChip: What is BillyChip? 🤔 BillyChip is the safe and secure currency which allows the public to directly donate to rough sleepers without the fear of their donations being misused. How do BillyChip work? You can purchase BillyChip from one of our ever-expanding outlets. You will then be able to donate to someone sleeping rough. That homeless person will then be able to redeem the BillyChip for a minimum of a hot or cold drink. Want to become an outlet? ☕️ It’s FREE to Join the scheme! Simply visit our website to sign up. Visit our website to find out more about how you can donate or even become an outlet!

We were invited to a coffee morning arranged by the school to visit Gilly and the children that are helping push BillyChip and raise awareness of homelessness in Monmouthshire ☺️ Not only is Gilly helping to lead the school with initiatives, but they’ve been invited to the local council to discuss other ways in which they can help 🤯 Meg did a talk to the kids and chatting to them has been one of the most heartwarming and inspiring experiences! There’s much more to come with this story, so we will keep you updated 💙

When Jack saw that GymSkin was 10 minutes down the road from the BillyChip Office, he obviously jumped straight in the car 🚙 What an incredibly lovely guy! They chatted for over 15 minutes on stream and spoke all about homelessness across the UK. If you’re discovering BillyChip for the first time, head to our website for all the details and give us a follow to stay up to date ☺️ We’ll share more clips from the chat over the next few days 👌🏽

Difficult question, isn’t it? Most people don’t carry cash anymore, which makes it harder to help someone homeless - even when you want to. BillyChip lets you buy chips alongside your coffee and gift them to people in need, who can then redeem them for hot or cold food and drink at over 400 outlets across the UK. Head to our website for all the info

As our cities go fully digital, could this be the future of how we look after our community? 🤔 Credits to: @thebillychip #wordonthecurb #thebillychip #community #ourfuture

Saying ‘an arcade ride’ while dressed in a blow-up jockey outfit is sending us! 😂 But honestly, it’s not an easy question to answer! There isn’t much you can do with £2 nowadays, and barely anyone carries cash even if they did want to give to someone who needs it. That’s exactly why BillyChip exists. We now have over 450 vendors across the UK, plus dozens of community outreach centres distributing BillyChips to those who need them most. Pick one up from a vendor near you, or donate online to support our outreach teams 💙

With 50’000+ BillyChips redeemed since we started Billy’s legacy, we are growing a community that care, as he did, for those forced to sleep on our streets, through meaningful and impactful interactions. From being featured on The One Show to international festivals, TED talks, worldwide press, global super-stars, global companies, pioneering charities, formula 1 teams and the thousands of you who believe in Billy’s dream, we stand together to make our world a better place for those less fortunate. We keep growing every day and have so many exciting things happening this year, MORE Festivals MORE Live Events MORE talks and the LAUNCH of our new Bank of BillyChip initiative - all happening because of your love and support! Keep your eyes peeled for our announcements and if you want to get involved, drop us a message [email protected] From the bottom of our broken hearts - thank you for keeping Billy alive.

It’s a tough question because, let’s face it, you can’t buy much with £2 nowadays! But you can make a difference to somebody’s day. Buying and gifting a BillyChip for only £2 allows somebody experiencing homelessness to redeem it for hot or cold food and drinks from over 500 outlets across the UK. Head to our website for all the info and for a list of our outlets ☺️
