Does your organisation still use cheques? Take part in a Payments Council workshop about the target end date for cheques

When: 21/09/10 from 18.00 to 21.30 - Where: A central location in Belfast – confirmed on registration.
As you may be aware, the Payments Council has set a target date of 2018 to close central cheque clearings. However, charity and voluntary organisations still make and receive a large number of payments by cheque. To help make sure the Payments Council fully understands the issues for this sector, they are running a series of workshops around the UK directly with third sector organisations – and are coming to Belfast this September. The purpose of the workshop is to share why your charity, club or society currently uses cheques and why you don’t use other payment methods. This information will help the Payments Council understand how they can help the charitable sector continue to administer the payments they need. The workshops will be attended by the Payments Council.

If you can’t make the above date, there is an option to register to receive information about future work on this issue. Whilst workshop places are limited, a copy of the findings will be circulated to all who register interest in the workshops.
