Vodaphone have developed JustTextGiving which is a method of giving money to charity through your mobile phone.

Mark has welcomed this new fundraising method which is free to set up and every penny raised is given directly to the charity.

Commenting about this, Mark said; ‘JustTextGiving will completely change and modernise the way in which we make donations to charity, I think it is fantastic news that Vodaphone have made this happen and I would urge every charity in Milton Keynes to sign up to this.’

Several charities in Milton Keynes have already signed up to receive donations through text message, including Mr and Mrs Bullard War Memorial Gift, Age UK Milton Keynes and Artworks MK, to name a few.

It is thought that text donations could be worth £96 million annually by 2014.
