About the Charity
Honour Our Armed Forces is a West Yorkshire-based charity dedicated to supporting both serving and former members of the Armed Forces, as well as cadet forces. Their mission is to positively impact the lives of veterans across all generations, providing vital resources such as funding and educational equipment to ensure ongoing support, development, and recognition for the armed forces community.
Success Worth Celebrating
The charity has made significant strides in recent years. They have provided direct funding to other charitable organisations, donated large-screen TVs to cadet forces to support educational activities, and contributed to wellbeing initiatives, most notably supporting woodland-based activity programmes designed to boost the mental and emotional health of veterans and cadets alike.
How Their Work is Funded
Honour Our Armed Forces is powered by public donations, fundraising events, and corporate support. Their ability to reach more people and deliver on their mission has been strengthened by embracing new technologies, like contactless giving.
The Payaz Partnership
Richard, representing the charity, discovered Payaz through Facebook and decided to give it a try. Since then, they’ve been using the Payaz devices for over a year, and most recently, they purchased the TapBox.
The Impact of Payaz
“Using contactless devices has increased donations to the charity by more than 52%,” says Richard. This impressive result speaks to the power of digital giving in today’s increasingly cashless society. Not only has it made donating easier for supporters, but it has also elevated the charity’s image.
Team members and donors alike have responded positively:
“They’re amazed we have such a high-tech giving capability and how professional it looks.”
Final Thoughts
When asked what he would say to others considering Payaz, they didn’t hesitate:
“We would encourage anyone thinking of using Payaz through contactless donations. It hugely benefits us as a charity.”
