Case Study: Thames Reach protects vulnerable homeless people with B4B Payments

B4B digital and safe solutions supports ‘Thames Reach’ help protect the homeless

Thames Reach is a London-based charity supporting people facing homelessness, including those with complex needs. During the pandemic, it faced the challenge of helping unbanked and at-risk individuals access essential support safely, while avoiding the risks and administrative burden of cash handling and improving control over how aid was spent.

B4B Payments provided Thames Reach with prepaid expense cards and a secure management portal, enabling outreach workers to make direct digital payments for food, clothing, accommodation, and shelter. The solution reduced cash risk, improved spending control and efficiency, and helped Thames Reach deliver remote, secure support to vulnerable people more quickly and safely.
