Thank You To Merthyr’s Key Workers

Say ‘Thank you’ to our key workers.

In collaboration with our gift card provider, we have teamed up with Collection Pot to offer a crowdfunding service to say thank you to our key workers who are working on the front line during the COVID-19 crisis.

We know that everyone is currently indebted to a lot of amazing and hard-working people who we will potentially never know, never meet and never be able to thank in person, and we would like to play our part in thanking those workers.

In collaboration with our gift card provider, we have teamed up with Collection Pot to offer a crowdfunding service to say thank you to our key workers who are working on the front line during the COVID-19 crisis.

Collection Pot is a secure and flexible online environment that enables everyone in the community to come together and collect funds for our key workers.

The process is simple.

You decide which ‘Pot’ you would like to donate to and click through to place your donation. Contributors are encouraged to add a personal message which can be viewed by all donators to the collection.

We are encouraging the public to add to our thank you pot with 100% of donations going towards delivering Merthyr Gift Cards to as many of our key workers as possible.

The more that is raised, the more gift cards we can issue to our key workers.

This will also provide a direct benefit to the businesses in Merthyr town centre as the gift cards can only be used in participating businesses. The Merthyr Gift Card is ongoing, and so there is a possibility that funds donated to this pot will be spent in any business within Merthyr town centre in the future and not just those currently listed.

Merthyr Gift Cards are redeemable across the town centre so whether your donation finds its way to an NHS worker or teacher, a care home assistant or a delivery driver, they’ll be able to visit the town and treat themselves to something they’ll love.

To suggest another Pot to add, please email The Big Heart of Merthyr BID at info@thebigheart.net

Please support our key workers and local businesses by donating to our Collection Pot.
