The scheme works by encouraging members to save small regular amounts throughout the year. The money saved can then be paid out in November to be used for Christmas or to contribute towards winter costs. What they spend it on is their choice and will be kept private as some vulnerable members would be reluctant to let it be known they are struggling. The Club also provided the opportunity for INS to spend time with members discussing various benefits they may be entitled to, talking about utility bills and generally getting a more detailed understanding of their financial circumstances. They were then able to work with specific individuals to look at claiming additional financial help. They helped 23 people in this way in 2017. The Club also helps to promote a culture of saving and introduce members to the Stevenage Credit Union as an alternative to loan sharks. The amount requested here (£8416) covers two years provision of the service.
