Solved: Re: Nepal earthquake donations. PAYG short code?

Anonymous · ‎27-04-2015

Hi, does anyone know of any short codes you can text to donate to the Nepal earthquake fund? I have £10 credit remaining that I am not going to use.
Many thanks

Thanks both, unicef says you are charged a standard network cost for a SMS. I have a bundle and £10 credit, does anyone know if I dont 1 £5 it will leave £5 credit OR will the SMS be taken from credit too?
Thanks

A standard text would be included in your bundle allowance.

If you pay UK tax you can also claim Gift Aid which adds 25p for every £1 donated.

Always giftaid any donations, it doesn't affect the amount you donate for yourself. It does however benefit whoever you're donating to, as above is 25p in the £1.
