PointOne%
You can become a philanthropist for the less than the price of a pint, no seriously! That's what this project is, it's pulling together our collective power to have a genuine impact on our communities.
By joining, you donate 0.1% of your salary per month, typically £3 - £5. We then use our network to find incredible people running amazing charitable initiatives in the local area - we ask them what they need and we buy it for them, simple as that.
This is a great way to support multiple causes without breaking the bank - and all of the money donated goes to the people who need it.
*Students & retirees can also join us for just £1 per month.

Making Change Possible
Community Philanthropy
Have you ever felt disappointed by the amount of inequality and lack of community support that you see throughout the country? Have you ever wished that you were rich so you could do something about it?
That's what PointOne% can allow us to do. Together we are rich, and we can offer support to those in need - we can make sure people & groups who already do incredible things, can continue to do them.
So far we have 13 members and we've donated over £620, supporting projects that operate in areas like mental health, disability support, addiction, animal welfare, elderly loneliness & teenage homelessness.
The project is in it's infancy too, so you can join us at the start of this exciting journey!
