“Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury has used the services of Givergy since 2016 and we are extremely grateful for the professional and expert contribution to our event each year.
The support before the event was great. No question was too silly or request too difficult. Having someone skilled and available to contact ensured the event ran smoothly. The software was easy to use.
On the day of the event the Givergy team arrived promptly with all equipment. They were proactive and approachable throughout the event. We used the Givergy pay system for the first time, and it worked very well, alleviating much post event processing”.
