Fair for You CIC

@fairforyou.bsky.social

Our loans mean households don’t go without essential items; avoid high-cost credit; can regain control of their finances; among other benefits.

30,000 have had a zero-interest loan through the Iceland Food Club, our partnership with the retailer Iceland Foods and @icelandrichard.bsky.social.
