Pay It Back UK is a fundraiser which prioritises Black and marginalised lives first. Your donation will be split and shared evenly between 11 organisations based in the UK.

The criteria for the organisations involved is that they have a history of/focus on supporting and empowering Black and marginalised communities.

Beyond financially investing in organisations, we need to stay active together taking ongoing action which will result in real structural change, so that the need for ‘charity’ is eradicated, and true liberation is achieved.

Any contribution to Pay It Back should be seen as an investment into organisations with justice, equity, and community care at their heart.

Your role as a Pay It Back donor is to be a co-conspirator, resisting systems which aren’t working for any of us.

The main aim of Pay It Back UK is to normalise recurring donations to organisations that work with Black and marginalised communities.

We are a collective from across the UK who aim to use our access, skills, and positionality to platform and amplify the organisations.

The goal of both the website and social media is a call to action, directing people to Black-led and anti-all-systems-of-oppression platforms.

Involvement in this organisation is an invitation to interrogate and divest from systems of oppression, whilst together investing in and building alternative ways of living and thinking.

Together we can refuse these dying and destructive systems by nurturing systems that hold value for fairness, freedom, abundance, restorative justice, and joy over fear, greed, exploitation, excess, and individualism. Solidarity and mutuality, not ‘charity’.
