Pret A Manger tests out GoodBox contactless donation devices
FinTech venture GoodBox has partnered with Pret A Manger to enable The Pret Foundation donations via in-store contactless devices across Manchester and London.
A trial was launched two weeks ago, with the retailer reporting that it has increased total donations in participating stores by 122%.
GoodBox Co-Founder & Managing Director Francesca Hodgson, says: “As an increasing number of donors don’t carry cash, a contactless donation point is an essential part of any modern fundraising campaign.”
This #WorldHomelessnessDay we’ve partnered with @Goodbox to trial donation stations in selected shops.

Andrea Wareham, Chief People Officer at Pret A Manger, comments: “For the last 25 years, The Pret Foundation has been dedicated to helping those experiencing homelessness up and down the country.”
“This year more than ever, they need our help and that is why we chose to partner with GoodBox to ensure our customers have every opportunity to continue their generous donations by utilising the impressive GoodBox contactless devices in our stores.”
