Associations and card donations

PaulJM

I'm on committee of a local association - a carnival.  It's neither a charity nor a business - mainly to keep things simple for our (very few) volunteers. 
We would really like to be able to take card donations on our money raising outings and during the carnival. 

I've dealt with Zettle elsewhere, but they will not allow a non charity or business to have an account. 

Any ideas?

I saw the local carnival was using a QR code system - I'll check what it was .

ETA - they have this https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=644753957783562&set=a.507966464795646

also they use this (don't know how it all works)

"It’s an early start for the committee, time to put the floats to bed, pick up the cones around town and start counting the money!!

If you were unable to donate last night due to the lovely high volume crowds, or simple didn’t have any cash on you. Please feel free to donate to us using the links below:

Thanks for that. I did use one last year but then each individual had to enter their address etc and although we had a lot of scans, we made £5on it 😬
