Carol singers from Micklands Primary School raised over £3,000 for the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance (TVACAA) with help from a chip and PIN card payment terminal. Shoppers were able to make donations using debit and credit cards.
The children were singing at the Oracle Shopping Centre in Reading in the run-up to Christmas.

The payment terminal was provided by Retail Merchant Services, who chose TVACAA as their charity of the year.
Gareth Poppleton, MD of Retail Merchant Services, explained:

“The TVACAA is a charity local to us – everyone knows someone who will need their services at some point – which is why we chose to support them as our charity of the year. We’re delighted the chip and PIN terminals we provided have helped boost the TVACAA’s fundraising, meaning those wishing to donate can choose to support such a worthy cause using either cash or card.”
