Beatson Rewards is an incentive that harnesses relationships between the Beatson Cancer Charity’s supporters, partners and sponsors all year round.
For an annual membership fee, holders of a Beatson Rewards card get access to discounts across Hotels & Travel, Health, Beauty & Wellbeing, Events & Experiences, Bars & Restaurants and Shop Local businesses.
How it works for supporters
Supporters sign up to the annual rewards scheme by filling out a short online form and making a payment using Apple Pay, PayPal or Card. The regular annual membership fee is £20 or a gift set for £25.
After payment, an optional ‘How did you hear about Beatson Rewards?’ form provides a great research tool for Beatson.
For all members, a Beatson Rewards Card is sent through the post and a Discount Brochure is emailed with full instructions on how to redeem all offers and discounts.
How it works for Beatson
On the platform Beatson can access data at any time. For example, they can:
- Understand which partners and sponsors are working well
- See what offers and discounts are redeemed
- See which promotional campaigns work the best (like the Christmas campaign)
- View payments and Gift Aid attachment in detail (payments go straight to Beatson)
- Add landing pages for new partners coming onboard
- Collect additional marketing information using simple forms
How it works for partners and sponsors
Landing pages have been set up for each business so that supporters can explore the offerings and filter shops according to their category and location.
The individual profiles allow businesses to include additional incentives that help with the promotion. For example, Strachan Craft Butchers were able to offer their Christmas hampers with a Beatson discount.

Advice from Beatson Cancer Charity
"Cashless fundraising has been an essential addition to us, especially during the pandemic. Adapting with the times allows us to reach a wider audience and ensures that we are able to continue to provide easier ways for supporters to donate to us. It is definitely the way forward and we can’t see any downside to making the move to cashless! If you are thinking of making the move, I would encourage you to do so!"
Rachael Griffin, Digital Marketing Officer.
