CTT Payments Seminars
If you’re concerned about how recent changes in Payments Scheme legislation affects the way that you handle donation processing or other types of payments, then why not come along to a CTT Payments Seminar? The seminars will cover all of the latest rules that govern the handling and processing of credit cards, debit cards and direct debits, providing important information for charity staff working in areas such as fundraising, database management, IT and finance. Two seminars are planned for the 13th February and the 13th March at our office at London Bridge. To register your interest click here
