Crisis Fund - A Fresh Start

18 February 2025 · 2 min read

In 2024, our Be Rich campaign raised over £9,000 for our ForMK Crisis Fund—an incredible achievement! But it’s about more than just the money. This fund serves as a lifeline for those in our community facing difficult times. Here’s just one example of how your generosity is making a real difference.

Give to Be Rich today

We are asking everyone to give £10 to the Be Rich campaign to make a difference in Milton Keynes. You can donate now by clicking on the button below.

The Challenge: Life After Prison

Leaving prison and re-entering society can be an overwhelming experience, especially for those without a support system. Imagine stepping out into the world with nothing—no family to turn to, no friends to help, and not even a change of clothes. For one man due to be released at the end of the month, this was his reality. But thanks to the generosity of the Be Rich campaign working with a local partnership, he was given the dignity of a fresh start.

Starting A New Life

With no financial resources and no one to help, even basic necessities like clothing were out of reach. Fortunately, a local organisation stepped in to provide support, recognising that something as simple as having suitable clothes can make a world of difference in someone’s confidence and ability to reintegrate into society. Through the ForMK Crisis Fund, he received £150 from a local partnership to purchase essential clothing, ensuring that he could step forward into his new chapter with dignity and hope.

Making a Big Impact

This act of kindness may seem small, but it carries a deep impact. Having clothes of your choice that fit properly and offer warmth and comfort is not just about practicality—it’s about restoring a sense of worth and belonging. It’s a reminder that even in difficult circumstances, people care, and help is available. This is exactly what Be Rich stands for: showing love through practical action and making sure no one is forgotten.
