Bank Machine chooses 30 charities to benefit from ATM giving
Howard Lake | 22 October 2012 | News
Cash machine operator Bank Machine has announced the 30 charities that will benefit from its ATM Giving initiative.
Users of the 4,000 or so machines across the UK will be given an option to donate money to one of the charities. The charities were selected from over 500 applications by an independent panel after the ATM Giving scheme was announced in October 2011.
Each cashpoint will list six charity beneficiaries, with each region presenting six different charities. For example, the Stroke Association is listed on Bank Machine’s ATMs in Scotland. People can donate from £5 to £300.
