Why don't people donate?

[citizenB]

Is there an address that people could send payments to by postal order.

 

Maybe next time people go to the post office to send off a recorded delivery letter they could send CAG a postal order.

 

I have donated £20 in the last week and will be donating more in the near future, thanks to the excellent help & advice I have been given!!

 

CAG has helped so many people, so why dont we have a day say the 1st June where everyone can make every effort to make a donation!

 

keep up the good work!

Have asked for you johno. I did have the address filed somewhere.. in one of those safe places:rolleyes:

[Mr lex]

The address is:

 

Reclaim the Right Ltd.

923 Finchley Road,

London, NW11 7PE

 

 

 

Make the cheque/Postal Order to Reclaim the Right Ltd

 

 

I had to go back miles for that !!

 

We should have it on the top of the pages really

I feel guilty now after reading what people have donated. I only donated £2 when I joined last month, as that is all I had.

 

Will try to donate £3 for the following months in future.

I don't think its how much you donate, its the fact that you do and I'm sure the site team appreciate a small regular donation just as much as large one-offs! If everyone made a small donation every month I'm sure that would cover all operational costs. Just donate what you can afford when you can afford it. That's the best we can all do...

Joe, thank you for your donation. It matters not the size, all donations are welcome and equally valuable

 

Well said Colin

[Joe of the Jungle]

Thanks Colin and citizen B,

 

I can see that anything helps this site, so will donate what I can afford.

Ps.. I`d hate to see this site go down to lack of funds.

These are great ideas - as are other suggestions in this thread - but they need organising. We would always be happy for anyone who wants to organise something to raise a bit of revenue.

 

Passing the hat round and any CAG meets does seem a very easy thing to do and could produce some helpful results.

I've posted this before, but as Vodafone has a web-team that frequent this forum with the aim of solving customer problems (and possible a bit of good PR for them) couldn't CAG get a sponsored link to Vodafone?

[Surfer01]

I did donate when I managed to get back nearly £400 in charges a few years back but have been broke since, but when i have had a few bob spare donating on here hasn't crossed my mind. I will make an effort to do so in future.

Any idea how many active users we ahve at the moment who have posted in the last 3 months?

[colin21958]

Don't know, but people do donate when and what they can afford. I donated £50 about 4 weeks ago and £10 at the beginning of this week. Will continue to make small donations when I can.

[letsdothis]

diddydicky came up with a good idea, an optional £5 membership fee. If you don't donate then no problems, but if you can afford the £5 then donate it now.

 

If loads of people donate £5 it's better than a few donating, £20 etc

[landy_alert]

I too couldn't afford to donate prior to now, but having just received some PPI refunds have just donated £50 in the last week and hope to be able to donate some more when other expected refunds from LTSB materialise. I also think the idea of an optional £5 membership fee would be a good idea ;-)

[babybear39]

I've donated as and when and what I could afford. But my gift to the forums is my compassion and paying forward the experience and knowledge I've gained here

Not sure, but if even a tenth of all registered users (261,080) donated just £1 we wouldn't have a problem.

Maybe if it was encouraged for people to set up a standing order for £1, then there may be less of an issue. At least with a standing ordeer you are in control and can cancel at any time. I would not mind doing this at all and at least that way I would remember to give back something.

I think someone posted a way of setting up a standing order to pay CAG paypal account- it might be on this thread somewhere - I'll have a look.

Are we're asking the wrong question?

 

Why do people donate?

 

If we know why they do, we can then repeat that process...

 

Happy days.

I don't think that's anything to be ashamed of. I donate when I have the money to spare (admittedly, as I've been out of work for 9 months, that's a bit difficult at the moment)
