Karova boosts Mencap's online fundraising
April 2007
Karova and Mencap are pleased to announce the launch of Mencap Donate, a fundraising site for Mencap.
Built on Karova technologies, the site enables Mencap supporters to easily donate to Mencap via credit/debit card or paperless direct debit.
The system integrates seamlessly with Mencap's existing websites and provides users with a straightforward, no-nonsense method of supporting their charity.
Brooke Williams, Senior Web Communications Officer at Mencap, said: We're delighted with the new site and our customers find it really easy to use.
Mencap is one of the UK's leading charities with an annual income of in excess of £100m.
Peter Roxburgh, Managing Director of Karova, said of the project: We're very pleased to build on our long term relationship with Mencap in assisting them with the important work they do.
About Mencap
- Mencap works with people with a learning disability and their families and carers.
- 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability.
- Learning disability affects someone's intellectual and social development all their life.
- It is not mental illness. It is not dyslexia.
- It used to be called mental handicap but we don't use this term anymore because most people with a learning disability find it offensive.
- People with a learning disability don't get an equal chance in life. That's why we fight to change laws and services, and directly support thousands of people to live their lives the way they want.
- For information about learning disability issues please call the Learning Disability Helpline (England) on 0808 808 1111 or visit www.askmencap.info.
