text message giving

bambusa

I have a 'pay as you go' phone.

hardly use it for calls and top it up £10 a month to get 'free' text messages and internet allowance.

So every month my balance increases.

When its Comic Relief or Children in Need i can offload some of this balance by texting their text giving number and i am relieved of phone cash to a good cause.

The rest of the year i am struggling.
Can anyone direct me to a list of charities that operate this text giving facility?

I had been giving to Christian Aid to help them buy mosquito nets.
Dont want to continue that (worthy as the cause is) as i am not a christian and dont know what else i might be funding.

Posting on here spurred me on to search online.
I found justgiving
and an article about it in the guardian, money, 9th may 2011
Not allowed to put clickable links in apparently

Still looking for an easy to search list of textable charities to give my surplus phone cash to each month, so if you know better, easier...

Still looking for a list of charities that use the 70070 number.
Search Engines throw some up but it's a lot of work ploughing through the results.

Save the Children use 70008 as their text giving number throughout the year but the word you text changes depending on their current campaign. Details are on their website on the mobile terms and conditions page.

ukwiddy

Kidz Foundation, a small charity that offers grants to families with sick or disabled children. You can donate to them via text.

Send: KIDZ45 £5 to 70070 (or you can send £1, £2 or £10)

Best of all you can also add gift aid for no extra cost!

Glamburglar

Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy: believe in the power of music to help children and adults live more creatively and resourcefully in the face of disability, autism, illness or trauma.

They are a fantastic charity.
