We have a long standing colleague retiring in March, and I would like to set up a retirement collection.
I do not want to use PayPal, so I am wondering what you have used or would recommend that could be used?
I would like something safe/secure and reputable. That even could provide a receipt for proof of donation.
Bank transfer to your account?
An envelope?
Something like a JustGiving page might work, but you'll almost certainly get more money by going desk-to-desk. Probably considerably more.
An envelope?
Cash - who carries that these days? Or do you mean cheques? 🙂
Bank transfer to your account
This
In our case a team leader collects cash in an envelope. But the we still have a fax machine as well.
What I should have said too is that we are all remote, and global, where bank transfers do not work (easily).
Where I work 'Payroll' are happy to make a deduction from wages for anyone who wants to donate to such things
EDIT: only works in the UK of course
We use Viing a lot at work.
https://www.collectionpot.com/ is run by fellow outdoory / biker / paddler and general all-round good egg.
Have used it a few times.
I’ve used collection pot. Works well.
We also use viing at work and there is another similar one to, but can't remember the name.
Viing gets used a fair bit at my place...is dead easy to contribute but I've no idea how the collector gets the money to.buy stuff.

Cash? I was thinking three paper clips and a Werther's
Cash, whilst not everyone readily carries it they will bring some in or nip out for some.

It depends what OP's workplace is like as to whether rhat will raise much money. There are several thousand kilometres between my desk and my teammate's desk. Also, they hate me, but that's perfectly understandable.
Thanks all, I went down the collection pot route.
seems like the most suitable.
