Try our new virtual envelope

Try our new virtual envelope which allows you to make your Fast Day donation online and link it to your parish. Share the link cafod.org.uk/envelope in your parish newsletter or on social media so parishioners who no longer carry cash can still make their Fast Day donation.

We also have a new poster featuring a large QR code. Place them by entrances and exits to the church for parishioners to scan and they will be taken to the virtual envelope where they can make their Fast Day donation.
