Togs has been running for over a year now, and anyone who knows me will know the lengths that I have had to go to to get a bank account open for the company! over 6 months ago we started the process (after getting Directors in place) and yesterday I finally received our Account number and Sort Code. This means so much as not only can we bank some of the donations that we have already received, but we can get funding applications in and accept cash from kind donors who have already offered to make a one off or a regular gift by faster payment.
It was a more complicated process because we have a new kind of account- the Community Direct Plus by the Co-Op bank, which means more money goes back to our community rather than a standard business account. we had to prove that our business will genuinely be helping the community, and it looks like we are! :D
I had to celebrate by drawing it to announce the details should you want to make a payment to us. (I draw when I am happy) We are delighted to be able to use your funds to help vulnerable children. THANK-YOU. You can pay straight into this account number and sort code if you wish. If you have any enquiries comment or email me on togsfortotsdundee@gmail.com
Excuse me!?
Last week we laughed long and hard because Jane who was picking up a referral for a family thought that my volunteer Claire (who is 27) was my daughter for a minute (I am 34!) So you can safely say that the last 6 months must have speeded up the ageing process for me. I can relax a little now though, knowing our banking woes are over.
