Background
Tenovus Cancer Care, is Wales’ leading cancer charity, operating 59 charity shops across Wales and West England, generating a large income.
The way the charity claimed Gift Aid was no longer working. They were finding it administration-heavy with an outdated and labour-intensive server-based database used to manage donations, sales and Gift Aid claims.
There was also a huge reliance on paper-based donor information, which used up human resources for large volumes of data entry. Delays in inputting information was holding up Gift Aid claims, impacting on cashflow.
The move to hybrid working meant relying on data entry from paper-based information wasn’t going to work – and would cause even more delays to Gift Aid claims.
The Need
Having decided to move to a cloud-based solution to support hybrid working, the charity was looking for a new Gift Aid claims system that provided an easier user experience that could be accessed remotely.
Time needed to be cut down on paper administration and a quicker, simplified, customer-friendly sign-up offered.
The new system needed to be easy and quick to use, accessible remotely and improve the speed of Gift Aid claims with the aim of improving cashflow and cascade money into the charity more swiftly.
