York Mind is taking a step forward in fundraising technology.

This Thursday, on World Mental Health Day, a total of six contactless donation devices will be available in York Mind shops and counter tops for members of the public to contribute towards their work. With a tap of any contactless card or Apple Pay device, donors can make an automatic donation of £3.

The technology is the first of its kind for the charity and will be available on Thursday from 12.30 pm. Holly Bilton of York Mind says that they are extremely grateful to our partners at M&S York, Rafi’s, Sandburn Hall and York Rugby Union Club for housing the devices, and for supporting our vital mental health services which include Counselling, Young People’s Services, Advocacy, Activity Groups, and our brand new Staying OK project.

York RUFC’s device will be on the bar in York Sports Club from Saturday, so allowing anybody the opportunity to donate to this very worthy cause at a time when mental health issues in sport have taken great importance.
