3.1.2 take reasonable steps not to bring the Charity into disrepute;

3.1.3 not represent that the Charity endorses any products or services;

3.1.4 not use any fundraising techniques that are unreasonably persistent, place undue pressure on a person to give money, or that result in unreasonable intrusion into a person’s privacy, and will allow the Charity to check or monitor our compliance with this clause;

4.1 Participating Businesses sign up to the Service via our website: www.WorkforGood.co.uk (“the Website”) and agree to the Terms & Conditions for Businesses.

4.2 We do not carry out any due diligence on the Participating Businesses and have no responsibility whatsoever for the fundraising activities or promotions that they may carry out in order to raise funds, or the content that they upload to the Website.

4.3 Upon signing up to the Service, it will be possible for you to receive donations from any Participating Businesses. Please inform us if a Participating Business pledges a donation that you do not wish to receive.

4.4 As a business that is raising funds for a charity though a promotional venture, the Participating Business will be what is known as a “commercial participator” under the Charities Act 1992. This legislation requires the Participating Business to comply with additional terms when soliciting donations on your behalf (“the Commercial Participation Terms”) which are incorporated into these Terms & Conditions at Schedule 1, and the Terms & Conditions for Businesses. Participating Businesses are provided with additional information on how to comply with the Commercial Participation Terms in the “What is Commercial Participation?” guidance.

5. Work for Good Fees

5.1 In consideration for the Services, Work for Good charges charities a fee of 5% + VAT of the gross amount of the donation from the Participating Business (the “Service Fee”).

5.2 The donation payments are processed either i) by BACS bank transfer which incurs no charge or ii) by Stripe (Stripe is a payment service that allows us to process donations made by credit and debit card). This is charged at 1.4% of the payment plus 20p per transaction. (Note that this rises to 2.9% of the payment plus 20p per transaction for transfers to non-European bank accounts.) (“the Transaction Fee”). The Transaction Fee is also payable by the Charity. 3.2 The recipient Charity will be charged a fee of 5% + VAT of the gross amount of the donation, which shall be deducted from the donation (“Service Fee”), along with a payment service transaction fee (“Transaction Fee”).

From 1st July 2022, Stripe fees on card transactions between the UK and the EEA [0] will be 2.5% of the payment plus 20p per transaction and on other international card transactions 2.9% of the payment plus 20p per transaction.

6. Donations

6.1 By signing up to these Terms & Conditions you appoint Work for Good as your agent for the purpose of collecting donations from Participating Businesses.

6.2 When a donation has been made we will hold it on your behalf in a bank account in which all charity donations are held separately from the general business funds of Work for Good.

6.3 The donation shall be paid into the Charity’s bank account at the beginning of the next month after receipt of the donation from the Participating Business, less the Service Fee and Transaction Fee.

6.5 Participating Businesses may in some circumstances (e.g. where they are not a registered company and operate as a partnership or sole trader) be eligible to make a Gift Aid declaration in connection with the donation. In such cases, Work for Good may arrange for the Gift Aid declaration to be sent to the Charity on their behalf. The Participating Business is solely responsible for ensuring that they are eligible to make a Gift Aid declaration and Work for Good excludes all liability in respect of the validity of the declaration.
