Hmmm... I just tried to set up a direct debit and it seems the only
option for the frequency is quarterly. I want to donate monthly. Why
can't I? Obviously, the fees are greater for 3 donations of £2, say,
than for one donation of £6, but I think you'll get a lot more takers
if you offer monthly direct debits for the simple reason that people
tend to be paid monthly.

We'll be working on making this more attractive over the next few weeks but
the functionality is there.
Of course if any of you felt like setting up a Direct Debit then that would
be wonderful, but this email is mainly to let you know what some of us like
to spend our Friday evenings doing. :-)
This is fantastic! Well done!
When I become treasurer, direct debits were one of the things I most
wanted to sort out and, when I ceased to be treasurer, one of the
things I was most disappointed that I hadn't been able to sort out.
I'm incredibly glad you've succeeded where I failed.
