Groups are autonomous and that means kin.coop is not responsible for the behaviour of people in your group. If a member breaks kin.coop's rules or code of conduct, they will have their membership suspended or terminated but that might be too late for your group.
Make a group agreement
Having a group agreement can help to build trust and prevent against issues by making it clear that it doesn't pay to free-ride. In the UK, a written or even spoken agreement can be used as evidence in a civil court.
Ultimately, your funds will be safe if the people in your group are trustworthy and follow the way you have agreed to run your group. If you are unclear about how your group should work financially, please contact us at info@kin.coop
