One thing that many people don’t realise about branches of the RSPCA and RSPCA charity shops is that they are separate independent, self-funded charities. This is the case for many Wil-U customers as they are governed by the overarching organisation but responsible for raising almost all of their own funds.
A perfect example of this is the RSPCA. Many of their branches are independently funded. Each branch has its own ‘catchment area’ where it can intake animals from and raise it’s funds. They are reliant on donations from their local community to create enough fundraising revenue to keep animals fed and healthy, cover veterinary costs, pay staff and keep animal homes running. They raise these funds by holding events within their area, running charity shops, and accepting generous donations. So, it’s important to them that not only are their solutions easy to use, they need to be affordable.
Wil-U is a tablet-based POS system that is affordable and VERY easy to use. There are no huge set up costs or need for training. What’s more, the flexible technology solutions available are perfect for use anywhere. Whether you’re taking adoption fees or donations in the animal home or selling donated goods in a charity shop – Wil-U can be used wherever you go. It can even be used to take donations at fundraising events or sell goods at a village fete!
One of the most popular solutions from Wil-U is the Digital Gift Aid Tablet. This portable, handy tablet completely cuts out all of the paperwork involved in signing a supporter up for Gift Aid. Not only that, it means that your volunteers no longer have to ask tricky tax questions or spend their valuable time convincing supporters to fill out the paperwork. Digital Gift Aid Tablets are not just for use inside the shops, some of our animal charities have them in their animal homes to help boost the amount of Gift Aid sign ups when people are donating goods or money to the charity.
