Welcome to ethical giving

Sponsors helping create this crucial positive change

"Welcoming and thanking our new sponsor Eazy Collect who will be providing Direct Debit facilities to all our charity partners"

Giving from the heart.

"Taking Direct Debit through us, being serviced by Eazy Collect, means that not only you get the charities' rate offered by Eazy Collect (which we don’t add to), but your charity gets all of the Golden Giving services that we offer free of charge (card donations, fundraising pages, event pages, ticket management, etc...)"

Eazy Collect, Giving Back to the Community

"Eazy Collect has a dedicated policy of supporting notable charities such as Winston's Wish and Help for Heroes. They work within the local community and support a range of projects demonstrating their company ethos of 'giving back' to the community"

Eazy Collect is a specialist BACS approved Direct Debit bureau, offering payment solutions to a portfolio of over 500 clients, across several sectors. With an industry standing of over 11 years' experience and a team of experts, Eazy Collect manage all client requirements ensuring that payment collections are processed efficiently and securely, while maintaining the highest levels of industry compliance.

With recent news of decline in UK charitable giving, the NCVO has encouraged support of charities through Direct Debit donations.

Charities strongly rely on continued support from donors. In ambivalent economic times, reliable income offers greater financial security for charities; these funds can be considered in forecasting the charity's growth and budgeting for charitable campaigns or projects.

Giving via Direct Debit rather than the 'collection-tin' donation method, not only offers charities peace of mind, but allows them to reclaim Gift Aid, thus increasing donations by 25%. Therefore, a £10 Direct Debit donation is increased to £12.50 with Gift Aid.

"Direct Debit also holds many benefits for charities themselves. It provides a guaranteed income each month from regular donors and helps increase donor retention – donors are reassured by the protection of the Direct Debit Guarantee, tend not to miss money taken this way, and will generally be reluctant to cancel payments that are being made to a good cause."
Direct Debit is a preferred method of regular giving, with a 6% rise in Direct Debit donations in the last year, it is proving to be a reliable and increasingly popular method of giving. Please refer to Eazy Collect article titled 'Direct Debit makes Headway with UK charities': http://www.eazycollect.co.uk/ddblog/direct-debit-makes-headway-with-uk-charities.html
