**Bacs Payment Schemes Limited, the organisation behind Direct Debit, is encouraging
charities to partner with corporate supporters to promote paying by Direct Debit
and receive a donation for each customer that does so.**

The Big Break is a nationwide campaign that is open to any charity. It is designed
to encourage more consumers to sign up to pay their bills by Direct Debit with the
chance of being entered into a prize draw to win £10,000 with participating billers.
The billing organisations that take part also commit to making a donation to their
chosen charity for each customer who enters the prize draw.

Dawneth Perry, market sector manager at Bacs, said: “We would urge charities to 
take advantage of this opportunity to benefit from extra donations this year by 
highlighting the benefits of the campaign to their corporate supporters who can 
sign up to The Big Break. Not only will it increase donations, but will create savings
for businesses as paying regularly by Direct Debit is more efficient and reliable.”

The campaign also includes the option for people to nominate someone to win a £1,000
cash prize every month between February and October. Every nomination will generate
a donation from Direct Debit to Marie Curie Cancer Care. Nominations are open until
31 October 2012.
