Thanks to funding from the National Church, the Generous Giving Team are delighted to invite applications to a project that will see 30 parishes across the diocese receive free equipment to allow them to receive contactless donations.
Working alongside the National Giving Team, we will deliver hands on training, support and advice to ensure all devices have maximum impact in the chosen locations. As part of this digital giving rollout we will also make online giving available in each of the parishes selected so that they have full digital giving capability.
Whilst a growing number of churches are already enabled in these ways, we recognise that for many others, a lack of funding or expertise can be a major barrier to getting started. We believe that digital giving should be available in all parishes where it can have an impact, and through this project we hope to help make this happen.
