The bubble burst in 1720. The shares became irredeemable, and even banks and goldsmiths that had invested began to suffer and fail due to their inability to call back loans made from stock. Many of the claims made to investors, who by then were losing money hand over fist, were now considered to be fraudulent,– suffice for Parliament to be recalled in December 1720 due to deal with the crisis and outrage.

Now we feed the families. One lady is scared for her kids over the virus. Another is worried about internet access as she has a meeting but cannot afford the internet costs that week, someone manages to gift her some data.

The contributors are our local authority who gave us a grant, local businesses, supermarkets and residents. We distribute parcels weekly for people using a regular day for each site. One local resident even donated a fridge freezer to help us! Our local pub also helped out with freezer space during lockdown.
