ss CMF news - summer 2010,  please increase our efficiency

please increase our efficiency

The Central Services department supports CMF's ministry and its members through maintaining the membership database, dealing with finances and IT, and looking after the premises. Our aim is to serve our colleagues in ministry and to serve the wider membership. We seek to do this as efficiently as possible, so that we spend less on administration and more on ministry.

One way we have sought over the past 18 months to increase our efficiency has been to encourage members to make their regular payments to CMF by Direct Debit rather than by Standing Order. In the last year we have also switched more and more of our banking from Barclays Bank (which charges us for each transaction) to CAF Bank, which makes no charges!

However, we still have 1,100 members with standing orders being paid into our Barclays bank account. If you are one of them, we ask you please:
Ideally, switch to making payments by Direct Debit, which is easier for us to process; or If you are unwilling to do so, create a new standing order and send your money to the CAF Bank instead.

    You can make either change by
  • going to the CMF website: www.cmf.org.uk/switch
  • or by emailing the office: finance@cmf.org.uk
  • or by telephoning 020 7234 9660 and asking for 'member finance'
You will then be helping us reduce our costs and increase our efficiency. Thank you!
