'It's about getting out there and helping people'

A contactless payment system set up in Leicester to help support people sleeping on the streets has raised around fifty thousand pounds.

The donation points were set up three years ago and put in place around the city centre just before the pandemic allowing you to tap a card on reader on a shop window to make a three pound payment.

It was the idea of Leicester's Business Improvement District, and Simon Jenner from BID and Arif Voraji from Help the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½less explain how the money is being used to help people most in need.
