Parish Pot
Coming soon! Local giving, powered by local news
Welcome to ParishPot, here to keep local giving local
Every week, local news publishers report on a food bank running low, a village hall needing a new roof, or a family campaign that deserves support. And every week, readers who want to help are sent away to a third-party platform that takes a cut and has no connection to the newsroom that told the story.ParishPot changes that. Built by Northern Eco, an independent local news website and newsletter, it lets charities, community groups and campaigns raise money directly through the publisher’s own site.
