Bread Funds are a new way for self-employed people and freelancers to support each other if they become unable to work.
A Bread Fund is a group of 25 to 50 people who contribute money each month into a fund which can support any of its members who become unable to work through illness or injury. It operates by members supporting each other on the basis of mutual trust. Contributions to the fund, and payments by the fund to its members, are in the form of gifts. Members can choose from different levels of contributions: the level you choose is related to the income you would like to receive if you become unable to work.
We are inviting RSA Fellows to get involved:
-
If you are self-employed, we invite you to join a pilot Bread Fund group.
-
If you know plenty of self-employed people, you could ask them if they would be interested in their own Bread Fund pilot group.
We are here to help out - please contact Stuart Field if you have any questions.
