Announcing our new supplier of contactless devices

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Volunteer Voice in July, where we revealed that our new supplier of contactless devices will be Give a Little.

We’re delighted to finally have a definite answer to share with you. But, tempting though it may be, please don’t rush off and buy anything. We’ve secured much better rates for our groups if you do it through us, so wait for more information!

What happens now?

• We’d like to invite you to a Zoom call with the team at Give a Little to find out more about the products they offer and how it all works. And to ask any questions you may have.

The session will take place on Tuesday 16 September at 11am. Do join us if you’re in a role where you’ve been (or will be) involved in the use of contactless devices. If you can’t, we’ll share a recording in the October newsletter.

Register here to attend.

• We’ll be testing the onboarding process with some of our groups that don’t currently have any means of contactless collecting. Thanks to those that have already volunteered to help — we now have enough for the test.

• Once this has been done, we’ll open the onboarding up to the remainder of those groups.

• We’ll then work to change over the groups that are using a different product.

Thanks for bearing with us

As we’ve mentioned before, the long delay in replacing GoodBox has been due to the challenges of finding a device and provider to meet our standards. And the need to follow strict policies and procedures set by regulatory bodies. Happily, Give a Little has met all the requirements, and we’re nearly there!
