[Tech1] A question for those who may have a solution.

[patheigham]

As my village has no banks, now, I find that I can pay in a cheque via the Post Office, which keeps paying in envelopes for the major banks, but one needs a book of paying in slips carrying your account details. Don’t know if one can put cash coin in, but notes probably OK. Perhaps the PO would give you notes for coin?
Surely there are some shops where you can pay in cash, what about filling stations for the car? Or a window cleaning service, or a delivered take-away, that you pay for on receipt?

Subject: [Tech1] A question for those who may have a solution.

I'm the treasurer of a small drop in group. Which meets once a week in a
church hall.

My duties are simply to pay for the room hire, and the refreshments. Those
who attend pay what they can, and that does cover the costs.

Obviously it was closed during Covid. But we would like to open up again.

The contributions were always cash. I counted the money, then did a credit
transfer from my account into the one I'd set up for the group. And then
spent the cash myself.

But things have changed. I now get my shopping delivered. And hardly ever
use cash these days. And don't want the hassle of taking cash to a bank to
pay it in.  

We're only talking about perhaps £40 weekly. The better off usually put in
a fiver. Poorer, maybe just some change.

I've seen card and phone readers are now quite cheap. 

Anyone got practical experience and can help?
