Force all charities to go back to accepting one off cash donations
We all know a lot of charities have become corporate entities with maximisation on fund generation even if that is detrimental to their cause. The new system of direct debit only is for data capture and an easy way for them to hound donators with begs for higher monthly debits.
Make it illegal for any charity to decline one off anonymous donations of cash.
Fortunately Save the Children still accept one-off donations in cash. It makes the others seem a little ungrateful knowing they only want to know if you set them up with a continuous stream of funding from your bank. How the world has changed. Donate to savey, as we used to call it back in the day when they were the only charity shop in town.

(20 upvotes)Good point. Charities lose out when some payments don’t get processed, if the giver knew, they would have given with cash.
True, but they should accept both or they will miss out on a huge stack of funding they need. I read this recently and it spells it out,
“Cash donations peak in certain months of the year, for example, November and December, where 51% of people say they’ve given this way in the last four weeks. This compares to 42% in an average month across the year.”
