Following a highly successful four days at the Labour Party Conference, the next event the Payment Choice Alliance will be mounting to promote our cause is to have a MP ‘Walk In’ in the Houses of Parliament in London.
All MPs from every party will be invited to this event including YOURS!
It is important to let YOUR MP know what matters to YOU - and ask them to attend the Payment Choice Alliance event at Westminster.
Details of the event are still being confirmed, so we are going to ask you to email your MP TWICE. Once right NOW, to preview the event, and a second time, when the details of the event are confirmed.
The more MPs hear from supporters of the Payment Choice Alliance the better - and your emails will really help ensure MPs have no excuse for forgetting about this crucial issue for the British public.
Even if you have contacted your MP before on this subject, please email them again - EVERY EMAIL HELPS!
Please go to the ‘Take Action’ page of the PCA website for more information.
Jenny Goldsmith and Sue Varley are two ladies really helping to push for Payment Choice in the UK. Both come from the lovely town of Caerwys in North Wales.
Caerwys is a small town in the UK. Small but with an amazingly vibrant community life - and a keen local interest in retaining cash as a payment option.
Jenny and Sue worked wonders to organise a Town Hall Meeting in Caerwys to support Payment Choice. A packed audience heard strong support for cash as a payment option from Becky Gittins, the MP for Clywd East, who herself lives in Caerwys.
You can watch these videos on YouTube to hear just how important cash is to both Jenny and Sue!
Secretary of State for Scotland and Cabinet Member, Ian Murray. Ian is definitely against ‘cashless’, believing cash continues to have a vital role to play in the British economy - and for the British public. It’s wonderful to have a Payment Choice supporter in the Cabinet, at the heart of the British government.
Watch the video to get all of Ian Maurray’s Views!

THANK YOU.
The Payment Choice Alliance, founded in 2014 and relaunched in 2023, is a campaigning organisation committed to ensuring the right of the British public to use cash is safeguarded by the passing of a Payment Choice Act.
The Act would give everyone in the UK the right to use their cash, when and where they choose.
The Payment Choice Alliance, which is run by committed volunteers, is also focused on ensuring every community in the UK has convenient cash withdrawal and deposit facilities. The provision of such facilities, along with the legal obligation of businesses to accept cash, will ensure cash remains a viable Payment Choice for the British public for as long as they want to use it.
