There are many other websites devoted to charitable giving and it is not our purpose to provide detailed examples of what you can and cannot do or details of the VAT rules but to provide an overview and where to go next for the details.

Text donations raise £3.4M for Sport Relief

Sport Relief 2010 has so far raised a ground breaking £31.6 million, with £3.4 million generated during this year’s campaign via £1, £5 and £10 mobile donations. This year’s Sport Relief campaign is the first time Comic Relief has used a £10 text donation mechanic. All text donations made by the public have benefitted from 100% out payments thanks to mobile network operators waiving their usual fees.
