Mutual Aid groups across the borough have come together to set up the Brent Solidarity Fund to provide assistance to Brent residents who are struggling financially.
We are aiming to give small amounts of up to £50 per household, which can be used for anything. There is neither judgement nor any obligation to pay back the money. This is run in direct accordance with the principles of Mutual Aid “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need”.
The fund is only as strong as its donations and we are asking neighbours to help their neighbours. If you CAN contribute to the fund, a
suggested contribution is one hour’s wage per month, but smaller, larger, or one-off contributions are all welcome. You can make donations via the following link: Brent Open Collective
Whether you are contributing to the fund or withdrawing from it, or if you would like to get involved in the running of the fund, then please email us on brentsolidarityfund@gmail.com
The fund will open in August 2020, and we will be in touch with everyone with details on how to apply together with asking for your help to get the message of support out far and wide.
