BRINGING<br />
BUCKET<br />
SHAKING<br />
TO THE<br />
21st<br />
CENTURY<br />
<strong>TORI</strong> has been supporting CLIC Sargent,<br />
the UK’s leading cancer support charity for<br />
children and young people, for a year now.<br />
We jumped at the opportunity to be able to<br />
test out new fundraising technology that<br />
could help boost donations significantly.<br />
CLIC Sargent teamed up with JustGiving, and other<br />
charities, to pilot a live TapDonate prototype. This is a<br />
contactless bucket that enables people to make a donation<br />
with a simple tap of their debit card or mobile phone, using<br />
Apple Pay.<br />
At the beginning of summer, <strong>TORI</strong> volunteers took<br />
part in the trial for CLIC Sargent by testing this exciting<br />
technology at Baker Street tube station in London, and<br />
encouraging commuters to tap to donate.<br />
Sarah Colberg, Lead Account Manager, CLIC Sargent, said:<br />
“Our nurses and social care teams across the UK fight tirelessly for<br />
children and young people with cancer, and support whole families<br />
through the hardest of times.”<br />
“But we can’t do this without the support of our brilliant<br />
fundraisers.”<br />
“We’re excited to be taking part in the JustGiving trial and so<br />
grateful to the <strong>TORI</strong> volunteers for donating their time to help us<br />
test out these new contactless buckets.”<br />
