Where digital giving and traditional worship meet

We’ve recently supplied a contactless payment device to St. John the Baptist Church, Holland Rd, London.

It’s fascinating to see how our modern giving technology, which church representatives said was “easy to install… and easy to use” fits into this Grade I listed church, famed for its neo-Gothic architecture.  

Officially labelled a church “of exceptional interest and outstanding importance” by English Heritage, visitors are drawn by “the stunning and uplifting cathedral-like interior”, designed by James Brooks (1825-1901), a prolific Victorian architect.

We hope the church finds the new donation tool as much use as many other places of worship already do – and this plays a good part in starting a digital fundraising revolution for the United Benefice of Holland Park!

Discover how contactless fundraising can enhance donation potential and how GWD supports the religious sector.

“Easy to install and the user interface looks excellent and was easy to use.”

Donation Station Lite

Discover our latest range of contactless products

The Lite range features two of our most accessible products; the Pocket and the Express.

Built with simplicity in mind, these small-scale, portable devices are ideal for collecting donations on the go. 

Attract Loop

Part of the Donation Station’s key visual design features, the Attract Loop are screensavers purposefully designed to run on a loop. Created by GWD with your input, they use visuals or photography, plus an emotive call to action, to catch the donors interest and lead them towards donation through interactive storytelling.

Customisation

The entire Donation Station is open to branding, from external display to on-screen logos, photography and your brand look and feel.

Our design support service can adapt visuals and graphics to suit your brand.

Wifi or 4G/5G Data SIM

Where you need it, the Donation Station can be supplied with Data or Wifi connectivity.

If using the device in a remote location or at an event, it’s worth considering the signal strength available – GWD can support you to ensure there’s a smooth running operation on the day.

Safe & Secure

All data is transmitted with full encryption, so you can be sure that all individual donor data is safely used, in accordance with GDPR regulations.

Choice of Donations

Giving choice on where the donor wants their money to be spent empowers them further. The Donation Station asks this question and gives charities freedom to present their causes and activities as separate campaigns.

Gift Aid Up Sell

An integrated Gift Aid function on all Donation Stations helps boost fundraising a further 25%. This tax relief can be claimed from HRMC from any donor that supplies their contact details and makes a declaration, as a UK tax payer. The Donation Station is designed to encourage and secure this additional fundraising income easily, through simple reports that can be downloaded and submitted to HMRC as part of a Gift Aid claim.
