Text Giving

We've made it even easier to donate to SU Scotland with Just Giving's text donation services.

 

How does it work?

1. Find a code

Choose the fund that you would like to donate to and find the relevant code (four letters followed by two numbers)

Current codes:

Serve Your Local School Appeal - SERV11

2. Send a text to 70070

In the body of the text you need the code followed by the amount donated (including a pound sign).

For example: 'SERV11 £10'

Donations can only be in the amount of £1, £2, £3, £4, £5, and £10.

3. You'll receive a reply text with a link to a Gift Aid form

After making your donation, you'll be prompted by a text message to submit your details so that Gift Aid can be reclaimed.

You'll be directed to a form that you'll fill in on your phone's web browser.  Alternatively you can visit that link using a web browser on your computer and fill out the Gift Aid form there.

If you're a UK tax payer, this will increase the amount that SU Scotland receives by 25%.

In this text message you will also be asked whether you would like to opt-in to communications from SU Scotland. Please note that if you do not opt-in we will not be able to identify you.  This means we will not be able to thank you personally.


The Facts...

100% of every donation goes to SU Scotland.

There are no additional costs for the text messages.

You can give a maximum of £30 per month via text message.

Most service providers will indicate the text donation on your phone bill with "premium text".  For further details on this please contact your mobile operator directly.

Payment is completely secure. Since the donation is taken from your mobile credit or added to your monthly bill, there is no need to provide credit/debit card details.

  • If you're a UK tax payer, your charity benefits from a 25% boost to your donation
  • At this point you will also be asked whether you would like to opt-in to communications from that charity. If you opt-in, charities will have the option to thank you personally. If you don't, please note that Scripture Union Scotland will not be able to identify you, and will therefore not be able to thank you personally.
