Additional Banking Support for Treasurers
We are pleased to confirm that we have partnered with Saltbox to provide additional support to Treasurers with their financial arrangements, including helping to identify charity-specific services at high street banks and making changes to existing banking arrangements, whether that involves signing up to online banking, amending standing orders, or potentially changing banks entirely.
Initially founded to provide Christian support and encouragement for local faith groups, Saltbox has evolved into a leading provider of support services for those who require it.
Should you wish to access this service, please send an email to cfb@saltbox.org.uk detailing your name, the name of your church/circuit/district, a contact telephone number, and your availability for an initial telephone call. A member of the team will then contact you to discuss your needs in more detail.
If you would like to learn more about Saltbox, please visit their website – www.saltbox.org.uk.
