Guild Care | Care Homes and Charity Shops

“We have been a charity since 1933 and a lot of the donations that we have received over those years have been cash donations. We decided it’s about time we moved into the 21st Century and moved most of our donations onto either an online portal or a digital donation point. We shopped around with loads and loads of different providers, tried a couple out and decided that actually Dona was a really, really excellent solution.”

Marc Yarrow

Head of Fundraising

Guild Care chose Dona to help increase fundraising at their charity shops and care homes, by enabling donors to support their important work with contactless and card donations.

A leading social care charity based in Worthing, West Sussex, Guild Care offers a wide range of services for older people, people with dementia, carers, and children and adults with learning disabilities. The charity’s mission is to promote independence, well-being, and happiness for those they support, aiming to create a more caring society.

Dona’s flexible customisation options were an important part of Guild Care’s decision-making, as different campaigns can be promoted in different types of locations, helping to raise awareness, engagement and crucial funds.

Donation machines placed beside traditional coin collection pots near the till at Guild Care’s charity shops can be customised to inspire shoppers to learn more about the brilliant work and fundraising initiatives being done across the organisation. While donation points at care homes enable families and visitors to directly support the investments being made at the centres where their loved ones will most benefit.
