How much does sending a text donation cost?

Texts will cost the donation amount plus one standard network rate message.

 

Where can I send text donations from?

You can donate from a UK mobile that is enabled for short code SMS messaging. You cannot donate using this service from the Channel Islands, Isle of Man or other non-UK mobile. If you donate using this service from a UK mobile outside England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you may incur additional network charges.

 

Can I give Gift Aid along with my text donation?

Yes, by giving Gift Aid you will boost your donation by 25% with no extra cost to you. After donating via text you will receive a thank you text confirming your donation has been successful and you will have the option to make a Gift Aid declaration via a link. More information on Gift Aid is available on Donr’s Knowledge Base for Supporters.

 

Can I give regular donations via text?

Yes, you can give both one-off and regular donations to HMDT via text. After donating via text you will receive a thank you text confirming your donation has been successful. You will also receive a follow-up text asking if you would like to upgrade your gift to a monthly donation. To confirm, just reply to this message with YES.

To cancel a monthly donation set up via text message, please text STOP to 70085.
