Pledge

Pledge believes that each person living in poverty should have the same opportunities to thrive as everyone else.

Our mission is to reduce poverty in Greater Manchester for those people who are experiencing homelessness, exploitation and unemployment. We do this by providing grants to charities and social enterprises who work with these three groups.

Mylo Kaye, who has run multiple tech companies for the past six years started Pledge in 2018 to help the rising number of people who are living in poverty, including the homeless epidemic facing Greater Manchester.
The North West saw the most significant increase of rough sleeping this year, 39% more than in 2016.

Once homeless himself, Mylo has combined his experience of being homeless with that of his time in the tech industry to launch a ‘digital first’ charity, which will help those living in poverty using technology, and also sharing Pledge's technical expertise with other charities.
