Quids In  pilot project- Building stronger Communities The Project addresses food and other poverty in the UK by building financial resilience. QuidsIn is the first digital payment card scheme for people on low incomes that incorporates an emergency savings fund.  Users have a prepayment card that is used for everyday shopping. Members save small amounts as they shop and this saving is matched by corporate and statutory partners. Members redeem their savings when they experience financial shock. We take a small percentage to manage running costs. When a crisis occurs, users visit partner referral agencies (e.g. family centres) to access their savings. This represents a new approach since current services (e.g. food banks) wait until a person hits a crisis point before providing aid whereas the QuidsIn approach is to build people's resilience so that they do not have to rely on emergency aid. By building financial resilience, it will also have a major impact on the emotional resilience of people who are living precariously with the threat of financial crisis constantly over their heads.
